This means that the gretl version that you're running is not
compatible with your processor (which I suppose must be an older AMD
model, from before 2004). There are two points to consider here:
1) Are you building from the current sources? That would be the
gretl-1.9.7.tar.bz2 package on sourceforge.
2) Are you really running the gretl you built yourself? You must
ensure that you have completely deleted any gretl installation that
was supplied by Ubuntu.
You can be sure you're running your own build if you open a terminal
window, "cd" into the "gui2" directory in your gretl source tree and
run the GUI program from there:
cd <your-gretl-source-dir>/gui2
./gretl_x11
