Oops, resending with my susbscribed address .......


Hi Jochen,

Since installing numpy requires installing a lengthy gcc install, I won't
be able to try that as a dependency for py-gsl for awhile.  You can try it
yourself though.  Just edit the py-gsl Portfile and replace the old
version and checksum with these.

version 0.9.0
checksum  c69c3deed25525f153f2f03942e99040

Then uninstall py-gsl and reinstall it and you'll get py-gsl 0.9.0.  If it
turns out that py-numpy is required to install it, then just let us know
and the port can be updated.  You could also consider becaoming maintainer
of the port if you want since it has no maintainer now.
