GSL "Make" Failure in Sort

To whom it may concern,

I am trying to install the GSL suite 1.9 on my computer, but have not been
able to have it make successfully.  In running the check before making the
install, everything in  /sort fails.  All of the other tests are
successful.  I read the readme and tried doing the recommended steps for a
general system, such as disabling shared libraries and re-making, but did
not have any luck.  I also tried downloading from another mirror in case it
was just a bad file, but I encountered the same exact problem.
I do not know what sort of specific information you would like as to my
computer setup and hardware, or specifically where to get it depending on
how you want it.  I am running Ubuntu 11.10 on a Dell XPS with an i7.  I am
still fairly new to Ubuntu and do not have much knowledge in programming
for Applications or make files or anything like that, as I mostly use C for
simulations of ODEs and other such purposes, but I will try to provide any
other information if it would help.
The log file of the "make check" is attached.

Thank you for any help,
Andrew Hanson
