You need to make sure that the gsl-config script from your GSL
installation is in the PATH when you run the Rivet configure script. It
should then work ok. There are also command line options to "configure"
which allow you to explicitly specify the location of the libgsl and
libgslcblas libraries if the gsl-config approach is not working.

However, since you are running an Ubuntu system I recommend that you
install GSL via the system packages: sudo apt-get install libgsl0ldbl
libgsl0-dev

Best wishes,
Andy
