Dear Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti
I sincerely regret this comment. I am a real fan of Gretl, and I
wouldn't dare to bother you on the mailing lists if I haven't reviewed
the documentation in deep first. The problem also happens with Linux
Debian9 libraries. For some of us is not so bright the documentation in
how to build the program in the Linux servers. But in any case, I
appreciate the response.
I'm sorry if that sounded harsh, but if you google for "ubuntu add source
repository" you'll find thousands of web pages that explain in detail what
needs to be done and why (much better than I did in my earlier messages).
I'm glad you're building gretl from source on a Linux server, and it's a
good thing that our exchange happened on the mailing list so that it
remains archived, but the gretl mailing list is not the best place to ask
for information on something that is essentially a sysadmin task on a
class of Linux distros (that is, Debian derivatives).
