gsl in c++

[Gary Wessle]

Hi
using gsl library to load formated data from a file into a
matrix. downloaded the library and reading the docs. I noticed in the
examples to include
#include <stdio.h>
#include <gsl/gsl_matrix.h>
1) the <filename.h> is a C and not a C++ style, do I expect problems?
and what?
2) I am not able to locate gsl/gsl_matrix.h after installing on
debian/testing.
i.e. when I trying to compile, I get
read_data.h:5:28: error: gsl/gsl_matrix.h: No such file or directory

thanks

<cfilename> would just put the functions, types, etc. in the std
namespace. Using the C headers is also permissible in C++, though it
pollutes the global namespace.

This is a platform-specific problem. Check your compiler docs on how to
specify include paths (hint: -I). If you need more help on this, you'll
need to ask in a gcc group (cf.
http://parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/how-to-post.html#faq-5.9).

Cheers! --M

This is quite off-topic here, but did you install the devel package?

gsl is writen in C not C++ it doesn't use templates and classes if you were
expecting them.
