[Gretl-users] lapack/gretl on 64 sabayon/gentoo

To gretl-users I have been a devoted user of GRETL for many years now and I consider it the best econometric software for teaching. I have been teaching econometrics for 18 years and tried a lot of software. I have recently compiled an GRETL-1.7.1 (and 1.7.0) on sabayon-linux-64 verson 3.4e (a gentoo type linux). The processor is Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6420. This is done by the command: emerge gretl Things seems to compile correctly but gretl does not install and I get the message: --------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY --------------------------- LOG FILE = "/var/log/sandbox/sandbox-31389.log" unlink: /usr/share/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs/gretl.lang -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- However, if I turn sandbox of: FEATURES="-sandbox"emerge gretl the program compiles and installs. I don't understand the error messages. The program runs mostly fine but when I try to do Johansen cointegration test the program crashes and I get: gretl_matrix: workspace query failed gretl_matrix: workspace query failed gretl_matrix: workspace query failed Segmentation fault I have also tried to install gretl by configure, make and make install but the result is the same. Johansen cointegration test generates an error. I looked at the source of gretl_matrix.c and it seems to have something to do with how the lapack matrix routines are called. Should the lapack be compiled in particulary way? I have done the same on a laptop with core-duo running debian-32 and that one does not crash on the Johansen-test. A possible lapack routine can be one of the following, dsytrf, dgeev_, dsyev_. dgesvd_, dgelss_. Is there something in gretl_matrix.c that needs changing? How can I download the CVS-version if there is a new version with a modified gretl_matrix.c there? best regards Helgi
