Ruby/GSL is a Ruby interface to the GNU Scientific Library (GSL), for numerical computing with Ruby.

Ruby/GSL may be installed as a Ruby Gem by simply running

gem install rb-gsl

Note that the GSL libraries must already be installed before Ruby/GSL can be installed:

Debian/Ubuntu: +libgsl0-dev+ Fedora/SuSE: +gsl-devel+ Gentoo: +sci-libs/gsl+ OS X: brew install gsl

It is recommended to install the GNU plotutils package. Some of the example scripts in the +examples/+ directory use the +graph+ utility included in the package to plot the results. Windows cygwin binaries of GNU plotutils and related packages are available here.

The Ruby/GSL reference manual follows and borrows large parts of the GSL reference manual.

See scripts in +examples/+ and +test/+ directories.

• gsl-nmatrix: A fork of Ruby/GSL with NMatrix support instead of NArray, developed by the SciRuby(http://sciruby.com/) project.
• ruby-gsl: Another Ruby binding, developed by Arno Erpenbeck.
