Hi,
the warning about gretl on Ubuntu 11.04 has been on the homepage for a
while (I think I had suggested it). Now that ubuntu 12.04 is out, I
guess it's time to remove that warning from the web? Assuming that there
isn't a problem now, that is. (I have upgraded one machine to 12.04, but
I'm not running the built-in package there, so I don't know.)
A little OT, but still: I had become a little disappointed with ubuntu for
a variety of reasons, so last night I wiped ubuntu off the hard disk of my
laptop and I replaced it with Mint Linux (Debian Edition). So far, I'm
absolutely loving it. Also,
apt-get build-dep gretl
worked just fine at installing all the needed machinery for building gretl
(apart from the fact that for building the pdf docs you also need
texlive-latex-recommended and texlive-latex-extra). Heartily recommended.
