I think you're discovering bugs in the Ubuntu 11.04 beta. However, I've just committed an update to the mkinstalldirs script in gretl CVS. (The old version works fine for me, but just in case...) If the problem with the "data" directory still occurs, could you remove the file "/usr/share/gretl/data" and then send the output from sudo make install> install.log 2>&1
