easy_install.sh chokes of gsl install on ubuntu 14.04 LTS #12

Trying to install WiggleTools using easy_install.sh on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS results in an error when attempting to install prerequisite GSL. It appears the the apt package manager has different naming convention for the package libgsl0 -> libgsl0ldbl. Also see this thread for gsl package names

Manually installing libgsl0ldbl via apt-get install libgsl0ldbl followed by running easy_install.sh results in successful compilation.
