+ <h2>Installation of <acronym>GSL</acronym></h2>
+
+ <p>
+ <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/">GNU Scientific Library</a>
+ provides a wide range of mathematical routines such as random number
+ generators, special functions and least-squares fitting.
+ <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/" target="_top">GSL</a>
+ should be readily packaged by most Linux distributions.
+ Don't forget to install a development version of the library.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Below is a short summary of instructions on how to compile and install
+ <acronym>GSL</acronym> by hand (for the case you wish to do so).
+ </p>
+
+ <h3>How to compile and install <acronym>GSL</acronym> by hand</h3>
+
+ <p>
+ After you downloaded the <acronym>GSL</acronym> library and unzip the files,
+ run <code>./configure --prefix=/path/to/gsl/</code> followed by
+ <code>make</code> and <code>make install</code>.
+ </p>
+
+ <h2>Interfacing <acronym>deal.II</acronym>
+ to <acronym>GSL</acronym></h2>
+
+ <p>
+ Support for <acronym>GSL</acronym> will be
+ enabled automatically if a system wide installation of
+ <acronym>GSL</acronym> can be found.
+ To use a self compiled version, specify
+ <pre>
+
+ -DGSL_DIR=/path/to/gsl
+ </pre>
+ when invoking <code>cmake</code>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ You can override the autodetection by manually setting
+ <pre>
+
+ -DDEAL_II_WITH_GSL=OFF|ON
+ </pre>.
