[Bug-gsl] problems with gsl-1.6

[Stefano Ferretti]

Hi,
I'm trying to install the gsl-1.6 library
I downloaded the gsl-1.6.tar.gz file from one of your HTTP mirrors.

I excute the command ./cofigure and all seems to be OK
then if I type
make check

I have an error (I report the output of the command at the end of the mail)

Indeed, if I try to launch the make command I have an error

It seems to be a problem due to the fact that the program searches for 
two files that do not exist:
gsl/gsl_machine.h
gsl/gsl_precision.h

could you please help me in fixing the problem?
Many Thanks
Kind Regards
Stefano

here is the output of the "make check" command
