It would really, really be helpful if you told us which distribution you have
on that machine. Some distribution have non-standard folder organization (I
remember Red Hat some years ago, don't know whether they fixed that), and
need either their own binary packages or special instructions in order to
compile properly.
To compile (should work on any installation), download the source tarball:
$ wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsl/gsl-1.6.tar.gz
untar:
$ tar -xzf gsl-1.6.tar.gz
enter in the folder, configure, compile, install
$ cd gsl-1.6
$ ./configure (NB! if you have non-standard folder organization, you
should
probably tell it to configure. How exactly... I'm not sure)
$ make
# make install (NB! as root, not user. Else you can't install
system-wide)
The make process will take some time. It's much faster business if you use an
already-compiled binary package for your distro.

Maybe it's more of a common machine for people to run UNIX apps from "dumb
terminals".
