Hi Helio, thank for your reply and the suggestion. I guess this would
have been the most simple way to solve this issue.
However, meanwhile I've found another workaround: I found out that I can
tell gretl the correct paths in the file /lib/.deps/gretl_foreign.d.
Unfortunately, this has to be done by hand but at least the installation
works well.
I don't know, this sounds very error-prone (and apparently in the end
you get an error).
The Gretl guide in chapter 36.6 says "you should ensure [...] (b) that
the pkg-config program is able to detect your R installation."
So perhaps you should set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH
(which comes with the explanation "directories to add to pkg-config's
search path") to point to your special R install directory.
good luck,
sven
