| make: *** [config.status] Error 1

| pbuilder: Failed autobuilding of package
| ...

|
| This is weird, since libgsl0-dev has been installed (and, in fact, the

|
| $ objdump -t /usr/lib/libgsl.so.0.10.0

|
|
| $ nm /usr/lib/libgsl.so.0.10.0
| nm: /usr/lib/libgsl.so.0.10.0: no symbols

Hm, could it be that the configure file of your package is simply wrong and
overreacts? AFAIK all Debian libraries are stripped, so your objdump and nm
test would yield the same for the zlib, png, jpeg, ... what-have-you
libraries too.
Here is a really old, really small test I have locally:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/progs/C> cat test_gsl_rng.c
/* minimal gsl program from the info pages */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <gsl/gsl_rng.h>
gsl_rng * r ; /* global generator */
int
main ()
{
gsl_rng_env_setup() ;
r = gsl_rng_alloc (gsl_rng_default);
printf("generator type: %s\n", gsl_rng_name (r));
printf("seed = %u\n", gsl_rng_default_seed);
printf("first value = %u\n", gsl_rng_get (r)) ;
}
/*
* Local variables:
* compile-command: "gcc -W test_gsl_rng.c -o test_gsl_rng -lgslblasnative
-lgsl -lm"
* End:
*/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/progs/C> gcc -W test_gsl_rng.c -o test_gsl_rng

Builds fine agains libgsl*. Plus, the gsl-bin examples also run.
So looks like your configure is too harsh and gsl is fine. Can we close this?
