Hi Allin,
Thanks for your help. I have now gretl running OK.
Getting a fresh CVS tree did not fix the crash.
It was fixed by installing gtkextra <http://gtkextra.sourceforge.net/>;.
I'm sure that's not the case. I should say that Ignacio
Diaz-Emparanza reported a gretl crash to me recently, which I fixed
in today's CVS. This was due to a very obscure bug (which gretl
apparently shared with a large number of projects that use the
libxml2 XML-processing library), namely calling libxml2's "clean up"
function more than once.
I have never seen this bug bite myself, but maybe it was responsible
for the crashes you saw.
But as for gtkextra: a long time ago we made some use of that
library, but we no longer use it in any way. The gretl C files
include no gtkextra headers, make no calls to the gtkextra library,
nothing. It is definitely not a dependency, optional or mandatory.

Now I am having problems with make pdfdocs. (I still have plans for the PT
translation in a long term schedule)
helio@linux-techno:~/gretl> make pdfdocs [...]
! Package keyval Error: compat2 undefined.
Ah, it looks like the "compat2" option has been removed in the
geometry.sty file you have on your TeX system. I'll look into ways
of working around that.
