The package that I need is GSL (Gnu Scientific Library).
It is in all standard repository ... except in RHEL and CentOS.
In the repository of RHEL and CentOS there isn't GSL :-( :-(
I don't remember the repository... I search with
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3
However... because GSL is so common... I think that is stupid to make
another .spec for compile the source in my home project.

Hello,
Gianluca
