[BioC] problem with using GSVA package

hi, ok, it makes sense because i noticed that as long as gsl-config was
not available in my PATH variable i could reproduce your error, but as
long as i put it in the PATH variable, just as if i had a system-wide
installation of GSL, then GSVA was installing even if the supposedly
required version was 1.6 (strange too).

please make sure that you installation of GSL is such that either
gsl-config falls into one of the paths in your PATH environment
variable, and it should work, alternatively add the path where
gsl-config is to your PATH environment variable.

i'll fix in the meantime the 1.6 requirement which in fact does not seem
to be causing the real problem, at least on my side.

please let me know if you succeed,

robert.
