= Ruby/GSL

== Description
((<RubyGSL|URL:http://rubyforge.org/projects/rb-gsl/>)) is a ruby interface to the ((<GSL|URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/>)) (GNU Scientific Library), for numerical computing with ((<Ruby|URL:http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/>)). 

Ruby/GSL is developed with Ruby 1.8.2 and GSL 1.5 on 
((<MacOS X|URL:http://www.apple.com/macosx/overview/>)) 10.3.5 (Darwin 7.5.0).
This also runs under Linux, and ((<Cygwin|URL:http://cygwin.com/>)).

== Download
  * ((<RubyForge|URL:http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=285>))

== Installation
   (1) Get and install ((<GSL|URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/#downloading>)).
   (2) ((<Download|URL:http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=285>)) Ruby/GSL, ungzip and untar the archive (({rb-gsl-xxx.tar.gz})). 
   (3) ((% % cd rb-gsl-xxx/%))
   (4) Make sure the command "gsl-config" is in command search path.
   (5) ((% % ruby setup.rb config%))

       If you have the NArray extension, the following may be useful,
        
         % ruby setup.rb config -- --with-narray-include=<directory where 'narray.h' exsists>

   (6) ((% % ruby setup.rb setup%))
   (7) ((% % ruby setup.rb install%)) (as root)

  * It is recommended to install the
    ((<(({GNU plotutils}))|URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/plotutils/plotutils.html>))
    package.
    Some of the sample scripts in the 'samples/' directory use the (({graph})) 
    utility included in the package to plot the results. 
    Windows-cygwin binaries of (({GNU plotutils})) and 
    related packages are available from 
    ((<here|URL:http://rustam.uwp.edu/support>)).
