The only RHEL system I have available to me, for building the
gretl rpm, is a fairly conservative one that uses readline 4.0.
On Fedora 8, my recommendation would be to ignore the rpm and
build from the current CVS source.

Much thanks for your reply.
I have an Fedora Core 2 machine which I use as a home server. Your latest
rpm build of gretl does install on that machine. However, I still can't
build it on that machine.
I have installed gretl-1.7.4-1gtk2.i586.rpm on my Core 2 using the
--nodeps flag. As yet, I haven't tried using it, other than bringing up
the initial interface.
I have tried setting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable both on the FC2 as
well as the FC8 machine in the hopes of getting gretl to build. No luck.
Any further guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!
