Allin,

Okay, thanks for your advice. The only thing is is that I've never built -gretl- from -git- as I've never needed to. Remember, I was only following the suggested steps Jack gave me!

Allin,

I didn't add it because it still generate errors!

clive@clivubu:~/gretl-2015d$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local

Clive, we (Oleh and I) are telling you: (a) "make pdfdocs" will not work unless you have given the option --enable-build-doc to the configure script, but (b) the latter option is valid only when you are building from the git source, and not with a regular release source package such as gretl-2015d.tar.xz.

In other words, if you want to build the docs you _must_ use the git source and you _must_ add --enable-build-doc when configuring. In addition you _must not_ invoke "sudo" when doing "git pull" or running the configure script.


Allin
