The otool output on the dylib under MacOS10.4u.sdk/usr/lib shows

Well, it's not gretl that's complaining, it's the OS X dynamic
linker, Dyld. This is confusing. I can think of two
possibilities.
(a) Is there a libiconv dylib in the gretl installation directory?
I can't remember offhand. But if there is, you might moving it
out of the way and see if that helps.
Thank you very much for that help. It worked. I simply moved that library to a different location and there was no problem.
(b) The gretl DMG was compiled on an older OS X version. Maybe
the linker is looking for an older libiconv.2.dylib to match??
That is, maybe it's really loading from MacOS10.4u.sdk/usr/lib
even though it says "/usr/lib"?
I think it was loading the lib in the gretl package. The reason I say this is because when I renamed the library in the 10.4u.sdk/usr/lib directory, the complaint persisted. The complaint vanished as soon as I followed your suggestion above.
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?

Thank you very much once again for your timely help!
