(Just going on intuition here, not using debian myself, and never having 
compiled pdp...)

http://packages.debian.org/testing/math/libgsl0

"This package provides the shared libraries required to run programs 
compiled with GNU GSL. To compile your own programs you also need to 
install libgsl0-dev"

http://packages.debian.org/testing/libdevel/libgsl0-dev

If you look at the list of files you will see .../include/gsl/gsl_block.h

There should be some way in $(distribution)'s package manager to find 
out which package provides a given file, otherwise there is the internet 
and its fine search engines.

(I use gentoo, but that seems to have "equery belongs existingfile => 
package" but not "equery provides missingfile => package")
