Additional Notes

GSL is developed and maintained for the GCC compiler. As such it can be awkward to compile successfully with third party compilers. Consequently we are not able to provide a version built with Intel compilers on Kay.

To use the GSL on Kay load the relevant environment module:

module load gsl/gcc/2.5
