Hi Susi,

As Marco and Tatsuro already told you, this tarball is wrong because the
configure file is missing.

I have provided a Makefile that handles the packaging process, please
use it.  You juste have to do "make dist" and the tarball will be ready
in the target subdirectory.  Unless something is wrong with the
Makefile, bootstrap should be run automatically and therefore you should
have configure in the src directory.

But I *did* run bootstrap before running make dist. Well, I found the
culprit:

$ ls src/configure
src/configure
$ make dist
$ ls target/gsl-1.2.0/src/configure
ls: cannot access 'target/gsl-1.2.0/src/configure': No such file or
directory

I fixed the makefile to run bootstrap like in the image package.
Now it works properly.

Generating tests may be somewhat problematic, since the package is just
a wrapper around gsl, so it will be more a test of gsl than of the
wrapper. And there's a huge number of functions, and there's the
question of how to obtain reference values for the tests...

I suggest to test few functions to verify the system is in place

May be just starting from
https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/An-Example-Program.html

Marco
