I support gretl for a group who uses it, so I don't use it myself. But I'm running into issues compiling and installing.

I'm trying to deploy the latest gretl-1.9.91 on a RHEL 5.9 box.

The configure script complains that:

Please install glib-2.0 >= 2.12.0 and then reconfigure gretl.

glib-2.0 is available from http://www.gtk.org/

Yet I have glib 2.12.3 installed. I checked in the config.log and it seems like to be looking for > 2.14 so I'm confused:

configure:17635: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "glib-2.0 >= 2.14.0"

Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.14.0' but version of GLib is 2.12.3

configure:17652: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "glib-2.0 >= 2.14.0"

Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.14.0' but version of GLib is 2.12.3

I would just upgrade glib but it seems involved since the repository does not have it available for RHEL 5.
