Firstly, you need to tell gcc that you actually want to link with the
gsl. You do that with '-lgsl'  (minus ell, *not* capital aye).
secondly, you need to tell gcc where to find the libraries. In your
case this is done via -L/opt/local/lib

So the complete command line looks like that:

gcc  -o asd asd.c -Wall -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib -lgsl
