Greetings,
I've been trying to get gretl running on my Fedora 8 Core 2 machine.
The pre-compile rpm fails with:
error: Failed dependencies:
libreadline.so.4 is needed by gretl-1.7.4-1gtk2.i586
even though readline is installed:
# rpm -qa | grep readline
readline-devel-5.2-10.fc8
readline-5.2-10.fc8
readline-5.2-10.fc8
readline-devel-5.2-10.fc8
I've created a symlink to libreadline.so.4
libreadline.so.4 -> libreadline.so.5.2
but that doesn't move the process forward.
I've tried compiling an rpm from source by taking
gretl-1.7.4/redhat/gretl.spec.in and modifying it and placing it in
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS, and the binary into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and
issueng the following command:
rpmbuild -bb --clean gretl.spec (when in the /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
directory)
I get the following two sets of errors:
1)
checking for LAPACK... no
*** Could not run LAPACK test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This may mean LAPACK was incorrectly
installed
*** or that you have moved LAPACK since it was installed.
LAPACK is installed:
# rpm -qa | grep lapack
lapack-devel-3.1.1-2.fc8
lapack-devel-3.1.1-2.fc8
lapack-3.1.1-2.fc8
lapack-3.1.1-2.fc8
2) The rpmbuild fails with the following:

It seems that these errors have been encountered before
(http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13752), but there is no solution
offered.
The contents of my gretl.spec file is appended below. Any help is
appreciated. Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere; if there are
links showing information as to how to get through this, that would be
great.

%description
gretl is a free econometrics package. It comprises a shared library,
a command-line client and a gui client that uses GTK. gretl offers
several least-squares based estimators. Besides reading data files
in its own format it also reads RATS 4 databases. It has a built-in
spreadsheet for editing data, and uses gnuplot for graphing. It can
output regression results in LaTeX format.
