Ruby/GSL, a Ruby interface to GSL (GNU Scientific library)
Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
Description
Ruby/GSL is a Ruby interface to the GNU Scientific Library (GSL), for numerical computing with Ruby.
Installation
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.
Reference
The Ruby/GSL reference manual follows and borrows large parts of the GSL reference manual.
Examples
See scripts in +examples/+ and +test/+ directories.
