It's not because you use GSL that you're forbidden to use just C :)

With x and y are pointers to a gsl_vector, one can use:

 FILE * input = fopen("filename", "r");
 int i = 0; while (fscanf (input, "%lf%lf", x->data+i, y->data+i) != EOF) ++i;

I assume you know the length of the vectors, in which case you could
use a for loop of course.
