Re: [Gretl-devel] Missing translation entries (and preview of new file in CVS)

I have current CVS gretl installed under /opt, but I don't have any standard Ubuntu/Debian gretl files on the system.

But anyway, the main point is that apt-get was able to give me a dependency list even though no gretl sources that apt knows about are installed on this computer. Nonetheless I'm sure this is right: if the dependencies of current CVS gretl were to differ from those of the latest gretl version registered by Ubuntu/Debian, "apt-get build-dep gretl" would give the latter, not the former, which might not be what the user needs. But most of the time it shouldn't be far off. Allin
