It includes a GUI element and calls a LAPACK function so it depends on both GTK_LIBS and LAPACK_LIBS as well as libgretl -- but it's not alone in that respect, the same goes for the leverage plugin. And GTK_LIBS is required for the gretl GUI program, and LAPACK_LIBS for libgretl, so there's no real "extra" dependency. I suggest doing "make" in the plugin directory with "quiet_build" turned off (if you have it on via configure), and seeing what goes on. (quiet_build is set to "yes" or "no" on line 19 of plugin/Makefile.)
