You probably don't need to install the version from the official GSL
website -- in general with Linux it's preferable to install official
distro packages unless you _have_ to have the latest version.

In Ubuntu you can install GSL by typing,

  sudo aptitude install libgsl0-dev

at the command line.

It's probably best to remove your source-installed GSL first by typing
'make uninstall' (just as to install you type make and then make install).
