[Bug-gsl] No configure file

[Liam Healy]

I have an up-to-date copy of GSL source from the repository. INSTALL says

After unpacking the distribution
the Makefiles can be prepared using the configure command,

  ./configure

but when I try this I get

bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

and indeed, there is no file "configure." So either this file is
incorrectly missing from the source distribution, or the instructions are
incorrect.  I am using Ubuntu 12.04LTS (but as I said, I am attempting to
compile from the repository, not using the distribution's GSL).

Can this be fixed?

Thanks,
Liam
