John,

No, gsl was not installed. I installed it, and the problem went away.
Thanks. The Mac OS X problems that the gsl folks post in their INSTALL file
(--disable-shared, etc.) appear to be out of date. I was able to simply
./configure, make, sudo make install and get a working version of gsl.

Just as a general curiosity question, has octave-forge always had a
dependency on gsl, or did I trigger it when I built octave-2.1.72 with
Apple's veclib for blas and lapack?

Joe
