Thank you very much for that help. It worked. I simply moved
that library to a different location and there was no problem.
That's good to hear, thanks.
However, there is a minor problem that is still persisting. I
can open gretl by typing ./gretl from the terminal window but
unable to open by double clicking the Gretl icon from Finder.
Previously it gave a report (which is what I reported earlier)
but now the icon bounces in the dock and then simply disappears.
Is it due to the fact that I receive two warnings at the
terminal window when I invoke it by typing ./gretl?
I doubt it. I suspect it's due to the very limited inter-version
compatibility of compiled Applescript (which is what that icon
calls). I've had no luck getting the Applescript supplied with
gretl 1.6.5 to work on any version of OS X other than the one on
which it was built.
But on a brighter note: you seem to know your way around OS X!
Might you be interested in building a new PPC version -- or
perhaps helping me understand how to build a universal binary?
If so, please feel free to contact me off-list. (I have both
limited knowledge of OS X, and limited access to Apple hardware; I
get occasional log-ins to my wife's intel iMac to build gretl.)
