Hi Sven and all,
After you mentioned the use of LaTex, I tried and failed to make my gretl to work with
LaTeX for a quite a few days.
Make the long story short, I downloaded MacTeX 2018Basic, and then downloaded MacTeX 2018
full 4G file!
None worked, for I can’t seem to find the correct pdflatex file that I need to link gretl
to on my Mac.
After poking around, I found it in “~/usr/local/texlive/2018basic/bin/x86_64-darwin”!
Now my gretl works with LaTeX!
It seems that had I installed LeTeX first, and then install gretl, I assume gretl will be
able to find it during the installation process. Am I right on this?
Otherwise, the user need to know which of the millions of LaTeX file to link gretl to.
Is there a better way to document this so that others don’t have to go through what I
did?
Fred
