I'm not sure what you're looking for here, but I've never had "GSL libraries not loadable" (not sure what you mean here; not found in the path?). Doesn't the form (cffi:use-foreign-library libgsl) at the end of init/init.lisp fail with some kind of reasonable error message if it doesn't find the libraries? What else is needed?

Good idea. Here is another one that would be useful even for the pros. A gsll-probe, that would probe the system to make sure that gsll is loadable. The main thing that comes to mind, and that can look scary to a newbie is if the gsl libraries are not loadable.
Along those lines, I was wandering if the gsll setup would be easier if the user were required to set-up a feature *gsll-user* (or some other such name. This symbol would have in its plist the gsl library location.
