Thanks, Henrique. Yes, I think screen shots would help.
Up till now I've pretty much been assuming that Mac users know
how to install software from a dmg, but it seems that's not so
for many users. Also a first-time gretl installation on ML is
admittedly a bit complicated since you have to install three
separate packages.
I agree. This installation procedure is not "Mac-like" and because of
that doesn't provide a good first impression.
I suppose we could think about bundling GTK in the gretl dmg,
which would cut out one step.
I have a suggestion (that I get myself thinking about for a long
time): I think the size of modern software increased a lot over time,
so I think it's acceptable that we have a bigger installation file :-)
Also we could bundle Gretl and GTK together (and even X-12 and Tramo).
Best regards,
Henrique
