GSLL has only recently been updated to support GSL through v. 1.13. Any 1.x version should load, but new functions will not be available. For GSL v 2.x, the interface changed so I expect it will not load. Your best bet for quick results is to locate an old (1.x) version of GSL and use that.

Subject: GSL 2.0 incompatibility?

Hi!

I'm trying to install GSLL, as I need it for software that is to be included
in a paper I plant to submit to a journal the coming week. However, I'm
getting an error message I interpret at an incompatibility with GSL 2 (which
changed parts of the API).

I'm running Arch Linux, with GSL 2.1, SBCL 1.3.6, libffi 3.2.1,
and attempted to install GSLL using quicklisp, as recommended.

I've been advised on #lisp to contact you, as the mail list indicates that
this bug has been resolved?

If you have any ideas how I can resolve this issue, it would be much
appreciated. Please find the error message attached below.

Regards
/Karl
