Hi,
here are my experiences with gretl (1.6.5) on Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5),
on an Intel Mac:
The dmg (
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretl-1.6.5.dmg) mostly
works: I can run gretl with the ./gretl command described on
http://gretl.sourceforge.net/osx.html; however, double-clicking gives an
error saying that X11 couldn't be started or something like that.
Then I tried to build from source, so I installed the most recent fink
version (0.27.9?) and followed the steps on
http://gretl.sourceforge.net/osx.html. It didn't work, here's what went
wrong:
1) installing "dlcompat" gave me a (fink) error "no package found for
specification" (BTW, I think I configured fink to use the "unstable"
packages to get more recent versions. Could that be a problem?)
2) I proceeded anyway and then gretl's configure script complained about
missing fftw3, so I installed that under fink as well.
3) Then configure went ok, but on make I got an error with
ms_ole_open_vfs. That sounds very windows-ish to me, so I guess some
platform check failed.
Any ideas? Has anything changed since 1.6.5 that could help?
thanks,
sven
