Re: [Help-gsl] latest version of GSL available for Red Hat

You might have better luck asking on a RHEL or CentOS list. In the repos
I have enabled, I only see 1.15 is available

$ yum search gsl

But Fedora has 2.6:

You could try that on RHEL, but I suspect it will tell you that there
are unmet dependencies. Try using the earliest Fedora gsl rpm available.

I love the stability of RHEL, but if you want the latest versions of any
software, RHEL is a poor choice. Fedora would be a much better choice.
