The setup-file assumes just passing {{{-lgsl -lgslcblas}}} is enough to pick up on the library, but when it is installed in a nonstandard location (or if, like me, you're on a platform that doesn't automatically add these locations to the include & library search path) this will break. The fix is simple: just call the {{{gsl-config}}} program that's shipped with GSL to determine the correct flags." defect closed major extensions 4.7.x wontfix
