This might be a libtool problem. Apparently the version of libtool
in gsl-0.7 is quite old.
VERSION=1.3.4
TIMESTAMP=" (1.385.2.196 1999/12/07 21:47:57)"
According to the libtool changelogs there have been a few IRIX related
fixes since then (and many general fixes too). Try installing a recent
version of libtool.
Then replace the gsl-0.7 `ltconfig' with this short script
#! /bin/sh
rm -f libtool; ln -s /usr/local/bin/libtool libtool
That's assuming that you've installed the new libtool in /usr/local/bin.
It's worth a try.
