[Gretl-users] Re: Gretl on Mac OS-X Leopard (Allin Cottrell)
I have been experimenting with Gretl 1.7.0 on two Intel Macs - one
running OS-X Tiger (10.4.11) and the other running OS-X Leopard (10.5.1).
On the Tiger machine I can run 1.6.5 without any hitches. It starts
X11 and then presents the standard Gretl screen. Version 1.7.0
starts X11 but fails to start itself. When I follow the long route
via /Applications/Gretl.app/... it gives the error message that I
reported earlier.
On the Leopard machine neither version 1.6.5 nor version 1.7.0 will
start X11. Attempting to run version 1.7.0 after starting X11 first
generates the library error message. As others have reported,
version 1.6.5 seems to run properly in similar circumstances.
Just to complete the story, I downloaded the version 1.7.0 dmg file
on November 29th.

Thanks for the report.
"libfftw3.3.dylib: mach-o, but wrong architecture"
Is this message seen on a PPC mac or an Intel mac? (No, it's not
a universal binary; I don't know how to make those.)
