Well, it seems Mint is offering a broken build of a somewhat old version of gretl (1.9.14 was released in November 2013). That's not very nice. To help to determine what might be wrong with this build, can you try launching gretl_x11 from the command prompt in a terminal window? (You might see something relevant on "stderr".) Can anyone else using a Mint/Ubuntu build of gretl offer any wisdom?
