Install and use GSL library
The packages for GSL can be found here
You can install just the library by using: apt-get install libgsl0ldbl
You can also install the development package and binary using: apt-get install gsl-bin libgsl0-dev
The resources/docs can also be installed using: apt-get install gsl-doc-info gsl-doc-pdf gsl-ref-html gsl-ref-psdoc
*depending on your setup you may need to use sudo before the apt-get command

1 Linking programs with the library
The library is installed as a single file, libgsl.a. A shared version of the library libgsl.so is also installed on systems that support shared libraries. The default location of these files is /usr/local/lib. If this directory is not on the standard search path of your linker you will also need to provide its location as a command line flag.
To link against the library you need to specify both the main library and a supporting CBLAS library, which provides standard basic linear algebra subroutines. A suitable CBLAS implementation is provided in the library libgslcblas.a if your system does not provide one. The following example shows how to link an application with the library,
$ gcc -L/usr/local/lib example.o -lgsl -lgslcblas -lm
The default library path for gcc searches /usr/local/lib automatically so the -L option can be omitted when GSL is installed in its default location.
The option -lm links with the system math library. On some systems it is not needed.3
