 Jack,
 Thanks for your reply! I was hoping you had the key to this, I really did.
 After running:
 sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended
 texlive-fonts-extra
 and then:
 cd gretl-git
 make pdfdocs
 most of it ran well, until I started running into a blizzard of warnings
 and the odd errors, culminating in this: 
The warnings below do not look fatal. Try running "make pdfdocs" 
again. (I'm not sure where that "rerunfilecheck" business is coming 
from, but it may be generating an error where there shouldn't be 
one, hence causing "make" to quit early).
