I hope a "SUSE or openSUSE" rpm..... Others use different locations for system files.
Yes it was for SuSE 10.x system... I just didn't find that from Packman.
I don't understand not finding it in YaST. Is is 'provided' on the install dvd for 10.0 as well as every version I have installed since 8.0, iirc.
But it was not on my DVD, I've checked it. Even more, there were nothing for gsl package...
Note that *all* of the required supplementary packages must exist. And checkinstall must be ran as 'root'.
I spend all morning figuring that out and, first of all, yes, there were "make uninstall" option available, so I was able to remove it successfully. Then I started all from the beginning, but logged in as root(though I believe it would work in my user too, with su). I kept all the output in the text files and was able to see afterwards(thanks to Randall) that there were no errors , and also didn't run make install, but instead, created an RPM for it using checkinstall. So now it works, perfectly, I could finally get Gaussian distribution for random numbers! Thank you all very much, I guess that is the first time I install something properly ;) (as I think, of course, but at least it works!)
