SYNOPSIS

       #include "pgapack.h"
       double  PGARandomGaussian(ctx, mean, sigma)
       PGAContext *ctx

EXAMPLE

       Example:
       To generate a Gaussian random number with mean 0.0 and standard
       deviation 1.0 use

       PGAContext *ctx;
       :
       r = PGARandomGaussian(ctx, 0.0, 1.0);
