I want to install GNU Data Language(GDL) on Ubuntu 14.04. Can anyone please tell me how to install it and whether I need to download any other software to fulfil all dependencies?

It is available to install from the Universe repository. In a terminal window just type:
sudo apt-get install gnudatalanguage
This will also automatically install any needed dependencies.
You can find out more information about this package on the Ubuntu website here.

you can easily compile a subset (without Eigen3) of the last version and the CVS snapshot using the script described here http://aramis.obspm.fr/~coulais/IDL_et_GDL/minimum_script4gdl.html
for such kind of numerical software it is often better to stick with the recent version (new features, bugs correction, improvement of perf' ...)
please notice that 3 related packages to GDL have been added in Debian (astro lib, mpfit, coyote lib)
(message from one of the GDL contributor)
