If all workstations have the same system you can compile it on one machine and put the directory on a shared directory and only run make install on each workstation. But must have identical system for that to work.

You can do the following.
Uninstall gretl 1.8.7 and I compile the program directly from the
source.
It works. I also have Ubuntu 10.04.

Download the 1.9.2 version from:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gretl/gretl-1.9.2.tar.bz2

Unpack. Open a terminal and write:

cd [directory where is the gretl source]
sudo apt-get build-dep gretl
./configure
make
sudo make install

That's all
Ok , I can do it , but for class I have 28 Workstations and is little 
difficult to compile on all  machines . :-(
You can launch the program from the terminal or create an icon in the
menu.
