Hello,
I just checkoed out the source and try to compile it on my ubuntu 13.10 64bit box. The problem seems to be the MPI. configure works ok,
./configure --without-mpi
but when I call make, the compilation fails with
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vonkad/dev/gretl/lib'
make -C cli
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/vonkad/dev/gretl/cli'

a similar problem appears when I call ./configure without hte parameter, but the undefined referece is to another object, not set_mpi_variant. I have installed the mpi-default-dev package.
