[Gretl-users] Gretl on Ubuntu

Hi, I have a Gretl function that runs under the current Windows version and wanted to check whether it works with the Linux version as well. So I tried to install Gretl. The package available on the Muon package manager did not work. So I turned to the current source package and started using ./configure it stopped with the message "Please install lapack and then reconfigure gretl. Lapack is available from http://www.netlib.org/lapack/";. The instructions there are not very specific. So I installed libljlapack-java from the Muon packet manager and retried - and obtained the same message. Maybe I am not the only dummy encountering such problems. Hence some more detailed instructions would be nice for users who are not Linux fools! Cheers Ekkehart
