Looking for insight into the following: I've been trying to install the Math:GSL package on openSuse Tumbleweed and run into an "Unsupported GSL version" during the build. Specifically

 stevenc@suseLinux:~/.cpan/build/Math-GSL-0.44-0> perl Build.PL
Checking for GSL using gsl-config
Found GSL 2.8 (via gsl-config) installed in /usr
Checking if cc supports "-Wall"...yes
Checking if cc supports "-Wno-sometimes-uninitialized"...yes
Checking if cc supports "-Wno-unused-function"...yes
Checking if cc supports "-Wno-unused-value"...yes
Checking if cc supports "-Wno-unused-function"...yes
Checking if cc supports "-Wno-unused-variable"...yes
Checking if cc supports "-Wno-gnu"...yes
Checking if cc supports "-g"...yes
Unsupported GSL version!!! : 2.8 at Build.PL line 85.

I have the gsl-devel library installed, and gsl-config verifies the ver 2.8 GSL install

Not sure where to go from here. Been looking on line and through code and haven't found a solid solution to this yet. Advice is greatly appreciated here.
