Dear Allin:

I have a problem with Gretl for Mac. I installed Gretl from the file gretl-1.7.8.dmg last week. When I tried the first time, it worked perfectly. However, when I tried to run it today, I received the following message:

The application gretl_x11 quit unexpectedly.

I have tried everything you suggest in the readme.pdf, but it is not working. The weird thing is that I was able to run it last week! The problem is that I am a new Mac user, so I really do not know what to do. I would be most grateful if you could help me with this issue, since I use Gretl to teach the introductory econometrics class.

I have a Macbook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo  running on Max OS X Version 10.5.2. Other software using X11 - like Octave or R - seem to run without problems.

(I already suscribed to the mailing list)

Thanks for your help
