I'm not familiar with the GSL package.

All data that MPI sends and receives is typed. As such, there needs to
be an MPI datatype that describes the data layout of what you are
sending and receiving. You therefore need to have an MPI datatype that
describes gsl_matrix and gsl_vector in order to send/receive them.

Check out the MPI standard, an MPI book, or a good MPI tutorial and
lookup the datatypes section for more information about MPI datatypes.
