Re: [Gretl-users] Install GRETL on iMac

Hello All, More Gretl problems..... I installed X11 successfully on my Mac Tiger 10.4.8. I opened a terminal window, cd to Gretl_Folder/bin and type ./gretl.sh but I get the complaint: (gretl_x11:386): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: users-computer://Applications/Gretl_Folder/bin Andy$ Any suggestions on what to do?
