Re: [Gretl-users] Compiling on Ubuntu: libgretl?

Hi Thanks to all of you for your kind help! So indeed, the libgretl is not produced in the /usr/local/bin, while I do not have a /usr/local/bin (although the machine itself is 64). I also did not use configure with a path prefix, so should be these files indeed... I hence tried the steps to create the make.log, that you can find under: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6113358/make.log do you see there any issue? Thanks!!
