Thanks, Hélio!
For the rpm, it's Johannes Lips to be thanked -- and for deb packages it's
Dirk Eddelbuettel. Both of these guys have been following our development for
a long time, and have been very helpful in (patiently) pointing out, and
suggesting fixes for, gretl build bugs.
Speaking of which: I don't think mpi is enabled in the stock debian build.
I noticed that several programs on debian have an "-openmpi" deb package
variant. Perhaps we could have a gretl-openmpi package too? On my "buster"
box (current testing) once you have libopenmpi-dev and libopenmpi2
installed, all you need to do is give the --with-mpi option to the
configure script, and everything just works. I guess it'd just be a matter
of adjusting the build dependencies, no? Dirk?
