GSLL is a library written in C, so all its objects live in foreign space. CL arrays won't work because the foreign library can not see them. You can shorten the creation of the foreign array using #m if grid:*default-grid-type* is 'grid:FOREIGN-ARRAY:
(gsl:mean #m(1 2 3 4 5)) 3.0

Got it working. One question--why doesn't mean work with a simple lisp array? Instead of having to create a contraption with
GSL> (mean (GRID:MAKE-FOREIGN-ARRAY 'SINGLE-FLOAT :INITIAL-CONTENTS '(1 2 3 4 5))) 3.0
GSL> (mean #(1 2 3 4 5))
There is no applicable method for the generic function: #<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION MEAN #x3020035937EF> when called with arguments: (#(1 2 3 4 5)) [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR]

You need to load the libffi "developer" package. I don't know what distro you're using, but on Debian/Ubuntu, it's called libffi-dev. Also, this is more of a question for cffi-devel, but it happens that I wrote cffi-libffi (which is the system triggering this error), so it works out.
