And it works there, too. Of course the unity interface probably isn't
very compatible with gretl's UI concept, because the menu bar is at the
top of the screen, detached from the window. It's very nice if you have
a maximized window, but not so with multiple windows. (Anybody knows how
to change that without deactivating unity altogether?)

Apropos: In the changelog for 1.9.5-1 it says: " * debian/rules: Still
configure with '--disable-sse2'" Does that mean that SSE2 (for RNG
AFAIK) is not enabled here?
Sven and Jack -- thanks for working on this. I have limited
internet access at the moment. I agree it would be a good idea to
put something on the gretl website about this.
As for SSE2, Dirk and I had some emails back and forth a few weeks
back, and there's (now) no inherent reason for using SSE2 on
suitable architectures.
