Hi Jonathan,
I solved my geometric tensor problem using sweat and oldschool hardcopy
textbooks (pretty picture attached). Math::GSL will make it easier next
time.
Since I wrote you I noticed Math::GSL installation depends on
Sub::Uplevel
and other modules. This one fails to install, and that dependency could be
the cause of the failure (As a positive test of the
installation procedure Math::MatrixReal installs without a problem, and
works in a perl test script I then wrote.). Forcing installation of
Sub::Uplevel wasn't productive. In short, Math::GSL installation might be
failing only because its dependencies fail to install :/
A colleague of mine experienced the same scenario trying to install
Math::GSL on his MacBook (intel OSX 10.5.5 Leopard)

The command
perl -MCPAN -e 'look Math::GSL'
fails (perhaps since 'install' fails ?). See output in attached textfile
perl_commands_log.txt.
Failing the above, I downloaded the source Math-GSL-0.16.tar from
http://search.cpan.org/~leto/Math-GSL-0.16/
and issued your commands. build.txt and debug.txt attached.
All the best,
Martin
