gsl-1.8 fails on eigen's test. As said in gsl's mailing list [1], this error does not harm the correct behaviour of the library, however having working test suites is cool, right? There's a tiny patch to solve it. [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-gsl@gnu.org/msg00192.html Reproducible: Always

Thanks a lot for the note! It looks like this has been fixed in 1.9 already. Hence, since it is a fairly minor issue I'd personally rather just wait until 1.9 hits stable in one or two weeks down the road and leave 1.8 alone. I will definitely have a look at your cleanup suggestions and apply them to 1.9 if applicable. Thanks, Markus

Yeah, time flies ;) Somehow this one dropped from my radar screen. Let me give 1.9 a spin again and if things look fine I'll file the stabilization bug tonight. Thanks for everybody's patience! Best, Markus
Now gsl-1.9 is stable in all arches that 1.8 is (and even more) so I guess this bug is fixed ;-)
Absolutely! Thanks for pointing this out. Best, Markus
