It's an in-house software package. It can be found here http://software.ligo.org/lscsoft/source/gstlal-ugly-1.3.1.tar.gz But if you were to try to reproduce the problem, compiling that software requires several other in-house packages to be installed first, including http://software.ligo.org/lscsoft/source/gstlal-1.2.1.tar.gz http://software.ligo.org/lscsoft/source/ldas-tools-framecpp-2.5.8.tar.g z and http://software.ligo.org/lscsoft/source/gds-2.18.4.tar.gz That last one is optional, but it's the optional component in gstlal- ugly that requires GDS that trips over libexpat. -Kipp
