Dear all,
 
I've installed Rb-gsl for the Ruby-one click installer,
and tried GSL::Rng.new.uniform to get a random number.
This works, but always gives the same number:
 
 
 
require "gsl"
 
res=[]
for k in  0..20
res<<GSL::Rng.new.uniform
end
p res
 
>res=[0.999741748906672, 0.999741748906672, 0.999741748906672,  
0.999741748906672, 0.999741748906672, 0.999741748906672, 0.999741748906672,  
0.999741748906672, 0.999741748906672, 0.999741748906672, 0.999741748906672,  
0.999741748906672, 0.999741748906672, 0.999741748906672, 0.999741748906672,  
0.999741748906672, 0.999741748906672, 0.999741748906672, 0.999741748906672,  
0.999741748906672, 0.999741748906672]

Why ?
 
Thank you,
 
best regards,
 
Axel
