The cygwin gsl package (GNU Scientific Library) has been updated to 1.8-2. For the announcement of gsl version 1.8 See (1). The homepage for the GSL is http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/ The 1.8-2 update fixes two packaging errors. The gsl-randist.exe program was missing from gsl-apps and the missing dependency on lapack was added to setup.hint. Thanks to Thomas Demmer (2) for the heads-up. NOTE: Starting from gsl-1.6-2,if you want to use the GSL, your path should contain /usr/lib/lapack. This directory is added by /etc/profile.d/lapack.sh. If you use the start-up scripts from the base-files packages this script is executed automatically.

Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
