Answer 1

Do

 apt-cache search libgsl

and everything should be a little clearer. Those packages have existed longer than either Ubuntu or Amazon EC2 so it really should not take superhuman effort to find them.

And if apt-cache search libgsl is too difficult, try packages.ubuntu.com where you can search for the package containing the file in your error message (eg /usr/include/gsl/gsl_vector.h) and "Yes, Veronica" you can search for substrings too.
