Hello OS X users: I'd be grateful if any of you could try out a
new gretl dmg. This relies on the GTK+ framework that Berend
Hasselman mentioned (built by the R people), which is available
at:
http://r.research.att.com/gtk2-framework.dmg
If you don't already have this installed, you'll need to install
it first, then install
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretltest.dmg
The advantages of this gretl build over previous ones are
Gretl.app is not recognized by Mac OS X.
The Finder gives the message: You can't open the application
"Gretl.app" because it is not supported on this architecture.
Looking into the package it seems that Gretl.app does not contain the
correct structure of directories and ScriptExec to start the
application.
As an aside:
When this becomes final, it may a good idea to redirect the stderr
handle to /dev/null like so
exec "$CWD/gretl_x11" "$@" 2> /dev/null
to avoid the console.log being flooded with messages.
It appears that Pango gives a lot of seemingly harmless error
messages. I went looking on the web and it seems that this is an error
in Pango and can be ignored. Also GTK outputs some warnings.
