gretl extras for macOS
by Allin Cottrell
Hello all,
I've recently checked and updated the various "optional extras"
available for gretl on Mac. Here's the current status.
1) X-13ARIMA
In https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/x13as/ you can find
x13as-mac-intel.tar.gz
x13as-mac-arm64.tar.gz
which can be installed from within gretl with the command
pkg install <package-file>
2) TRAMO/SEATS
In https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/tramo/ you can find
tramo-seats-mac-intel.tar.gz
tramo-seats-mac-arm64.tar.gz
which can also be installed via "pkg install".
3) MPI
In https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/mpi we have
openmpi-1.6.5-mac-intel.tar.xz
openmpi-4.1.5-mac-arm64.tar.xz
These cannot be installed via "pkg install" but there are instructions
in the README in the mpi directory, and also in the current MPI guide:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/manual/gretl-mpi.pdf
HOWEVER, please note that a little hack is required to get MPI 4.1.5
working on arm64 with gretl 2023b (or earlier). After installing the
package into your root directory, navigate (in a Terminal window) to
the "/opt" directory and create a symlink:
cd /opt
sudo ln -s openmpi openmpi-4.1
After this the command "ls -l" should show, inter alia,
openmpi-4.1 -> openmpi
This hack is not needed for the July 31 snapshot or later.
