Hi,
I teach a course in econometrics in which the students are required to
use Gretl. I've been using Gretl for several years with no problems.
But this semester, several students have complained that Gretl would
either crash when they used the script editor or it wouldn't load.
These students are using a MacBook Pro, at least one of which is a new
computer. For the crashing, they said that they just typed the letter g
(when trying to enter the command genr) and Gretl immediately closed;
the menu option to create a variable worked fine. For the loading
issue, some found that only a terminal program loaded; they were unable
to load Gretl that looked like the Gretl demoed in class.
Are there any issues with Gretl for MacBook Pros I should know about?
Not that I know of.
Which version of Mac OS X are the students using?
Have they installed the GTK_ framwork from Gretl's site?
As mentioned in Step 2 on the Gretl mac OS X page.
The downloads were for the newest version.
The newest version refers to Gretl?
