Re: [Bug-gsl] ndlinear documentation does not build

[Patrick Alken]

I believe the problem is that there is an EPS figure in the 
documentation, which doesn't respond well to making pdfs directly. I 
suggest trying this:

1. make ps
2. ps2pdf ndlinear.ps ndlinear.pdf

I don't know of any other way to make tex create PDFs with embedded PS 
figures.
