2 years ago Corrfunc uses the gsl-config command to identify the location of the GSL library. If you run that in your shell, does it work?
If you know the location of your GSL library but gsl-config isn't working, you could either manually add it to your PATH or just set these variables in common.mk manually to point to your GSL library: https://github.com/manodeep/Corrfunc/blob/master/common.mk#L192-L194
Another option: I'm not too familiar with using conda in read-only environments, but is there an option for you to create an environment in your (writeable) home directory? If so, you could install GSL that way; conda GSL installations usually include gsl-config.

General information
Issue description
The installation of Corrfunc could not be completed due to a problem related to GSL library, which apparently cannot be found:
However, it looks like the library is already installed on the system (it is one of the libraries installed by default with CentOS 7, as can be checked using 'yum info gsl' command):
Expected behavior
GSL should have been detected as already installed, and therefore the installation of Corrfunc could be completed.
Actual behavior
GSL library is not detected as already installed, which results in an installation error.
What have you tried so far?
I have tried reinstalling GSL library in my personal directory, but it is not an option since I do not have the write permissions needed:
