(Just out of curiosity I tried)

FWIW, with stock gsl-1.16 on Mageia-5 (64b) I get:

====================================================
>> test_gslsf
PASSES 25 out of 25 tests

>> legendre_sphPlm_array ()
error: Invalid call to legendre_sphPlm_array.  Correct usage is:

 -- Loadable Function: Z = legendre_sphPlm_array (ARG1, ARG2, ARG3)
 -- Loadable Function: Z = legendre_sphPlm_array (...)

>> help legendre_Plm_array
'legendre_Plm_array' is a function from the file
/home/philip/octave/gsl-1.1.0/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-api-v51/gsl_sf.oct

 -- Loadable Function: Z = legendre_Plm_array (ARG1, ARG2, ARG3)
 -- Loadable Function: Z = legendre_Plm_array (...)

     Compute arrays of Legendre polynomials P_l^m(x) for m >= 0, l =
     |m|, ..., lmax, |x| <= 1.

     This function is from the GNU Scientific Library, see
     <http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/> for documentation.

     *DEPRECATION WARNING*: gsl_sf_legendre_Plm_array has been
     deprecated in GSL 2.0

Additional help for built-in functions and operators is
available in the online version of the manual.  Use the command
'doc <topic>' to search the manual index.

====================================================

One might wonder why there's the DEPRECATED warning for gsl-2.0 when a user
has gsl-1.16, but it doesn't hurt either.
