Math::GSL

Math::GSL is a Perl interface to the GNU Scientific Library, using SWIG. The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a numerical library for C and C++ programmers. It is free software under the GNU General Public License. Math::GSL uses SWIG to generate Perl bindings to most GSL functionality.

Build Status

Dependencies

Currently Math::GSL requires at least Perl 5.8.1 to compile.

Library dependencies

  • GSL version 1.15 or larger. If you have installed GSL on your system, the location of the library files are determined by running the gsl-config binary. If it cannot be found in your PATH, PkgConfig is tried to locate GSL.

  • If you have not installed GSL on your system, Alien::GSL is used to install the latest version on your system. Alien::GSL depends on Net::SSLeay to download the library, which requires that you have installed libssl-dev and libz-dev (on Debian platforms, or similar libraries on other platforms).
