I'm pretty sure that the deps package was installed again since it asked
me whether it was OK to remove the openblas and curl packages because of
that. I will re-visit that part tomorrow.
OK, there was a dependency issue so indeed the deps package wasn't
installed. I had to remove three other packages manually to clear the
way for openblas and curl to be removed. Maybe it would be better to
error out in such cases instead of continuing in the shell script.
Then the build process (with R, MPI, doc and addons) looked good
initially, but towards the end I got a file not found error from
pdflatex. It seemed to look for /opt/gretl/<something> when that path
didn't exist yet (prior to installation).
Could it be that one has to first make a more minimal build&install and
then do a second pass with more build options, when the install prefix
dir already exists?
thanks
