RHBA-2005:172 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated gsl packages that fix a gsl-config script bug are now available.

Description

The GNU Scientific Library (GSL) is a collection of routines for
numerical analysis, written in C.

A previous version of the gsl package contained a version of the gsl-config

All users of GSL should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolves
this issue.
