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. I saw this as a dependency in the Portuguese Gretl page but not in the English. In my OpenSuSE 11.4 environment is clearly a Required dependency, not Optional.
(Well if we only want gretlcli is optional)

Can you please do the following recommendations?
- Verify the required condition of gtkextra+ to build gretl_x11
- Update the dependencies gretl pages (please have a separator for gretlcli/gretllib and gretl_x11)
- Modify the configure script to have a check for gtkextra+

Now I am having problems with make pdfdocs. (I still have plans for the PT translation in a long term schedule)

Here is the output of the build command:

Now type 'make' to build gretl.
You can also do 'make pdfdocs' to build the PDF documentation.
