[Rivet] RIVET libgsl problem due to undefined symbol

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Maria Vittoria,

I'm not sure what this is coming from: we certainly don't use that 
function directly. (In fact, we use GSL sufficiently little that we'd 
planned to drop it as a dependency in future -- although some experiment 
analysers have objected, saying that they want access to a minimiser.)

I note that you have a personal build of GSL rather than using the 
Ubuntu libgsl0-dev package: is there a reason for that? It looks to me 
like the problem is with your build of GSL (and its dependency on CBLAS) 
rather than anything specific to Rivet.

Andy
