Thanks Liam,
I overlooked that, and I installed the latest version. Now I get the error:

Note that I installed libgsl0-dev which apparently contains libgslcblas (this was not mentioned on the GSLL page), but still could not get it working. Using SBCL 1.0.14.debian.

Hi Tamas-
You need to get the latest version (not the current) version of CFFI. There are actually only three places where this is used, so it's not hard to change it, but I coded against the latest version figuring they were about to release a new version (and so far they haven't), and because one of my computers is on Debian unstable and uses the latest.
Liam
Requirements and Platforms
GSLL should work in any Common Lisp implementation and platform combination that has CFFI with callbacks and foreign-funcall support. You will need
* GSL * CFFI (Note: you will need a version newer than the currentversion 0.9.2. Use the darcs repository, a newer tarball, or Debian testing/unstable.) * ASDF ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Hi,
I checked out GSLL using svn, registered the package and tried to load it. But I am getting errors like this:
Execution of a form compiled with errors. Form: (DEFCVAR (gsl_version *GSL-VERSION* READ-ONLY T) STRING The version of the GSL library being used.) Compile-time error: (during macroexpansion of (DEFCVAR ("gsl_version" *GSL-VERSION* ...) ...)) error while parsing arguments to DEFMACRO DEFCVAR: odd number of elements in keyword/value list: ("The version of the GSL library being used.") [Condition of type SB-INT:COMPILED-PROGRAM-ERROR]
When I looked up cffi:defcvar, I found that its syntax is (defcvar name type &key read-only)
but the code has
(cffi:defcvar ("gsl_version" *gsl-version* :read-only t) :string "The version of the GSL library being used.")
I am confused, am I supposed to use a different version of CFFI?

Dear Tamas,
Type:
slocate libgslcblas
on an Ubuntu system I get:
/usr/lib/libgslcblas.so.0 /usr/lib/libgslcblas.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/libgslcblas.a /usr/lib/libgslcblas.so
if you do not get that either libgslcblas.so or libgslcblas.so.0 lives in /usr/lib/ but somewhere else you will need to symlink it to /usr/lib or change the lisp code to call the correct path.
Cheers, Jason

I can't remember if that happened with GSL or not, but check for that if it says the library is missing but you think you've installed it.

Dear Liam and Jason,
Thanks for your help. I had all the files below, so I tried manually loading the foreign libraries, and it worked. So I thought what the heck, and deleted the fasl files for gsll from my clc cache, and now it works perfectly.
Just a question: isn't init.lisp supposed to have an (in-package :gsl) statement somewhere? Or do you want stuff there happening outside gsl:?
Anyhow, now GSL seems to work, I tried erf and was overwhelmed with happiness. Having all these useful functions is a big deal for my work.
Thanks,
Tamas

Tamas,
Glad it's working out for you.
init.lisp doesn't have a in-package because the package is made in that file. I've seen people put an in-package after the defpackage, but the default package is irrelevant in that file, so I just left it out.
I'm still working on the ffa adaptation, I hope I'll have something usable soon.
