When installing gsl 1.16 against gcc 4.8 on mavericks, I am getting the following error: 

Error: Failed to configure gsl, consult /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_math_gsl/gsl/work/gsl-1.16/config.log

The tail of the log file is:

Why can C compiled programs not be run? Please attach the config.log so we can see why.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

I've posted the log files.

The config.log says the reason it can't compile C programs is: 

fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory

So I suspect the problem is what it says in wiki:FAQ#missingxcode: you need to install the Xcode command line tools.
