Well, it's what OS X now seems to do (at least part of the time). The gretl installer hasn't changed; the behavior of OS X has. If you can figure out how exactly OS X has changed in this respect (e.g. via google) perhaps we can find a workaround. As it may be a specific problem occuring here at my machine, I think the issue can be related with Mac OS X permissions on my Mac. In the next couple of days I will perform an Snow Leopard reinstallation (that I doon a regular annual basis just for keep a "clean system"). As soon as I reinstall Gretl I'll report if the behaviour persists.
