Hello everyone, I've tried to install the R gsl package but without success because R claims there needs to be a gsl library version >= 1.12 installed on the system. Actually gsl library version 1.12 is installed locally in my home directory and I set PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH in .bash_profile to point to corresponding bin and lib directory. gsl-config is accessible from everywhere in the command prompt. R is installed at /usr/bin/R.
