Yes.
Using macOS 10.15.4 on Mac mini (late 2014).
Installed following the instructions given on the website.
Gretl works. Can move from menu to menu using arrow keys.
Menu accessible with Ctrl-F2.
But there is a problem.
I cannot run gnuplot from within Gretl.
Regardless of how I specify the program (just gnuplot or with the
full path to gnuplot.sh).
The message given is: Gnuplot is broken or to old: must be version >= 5.0
I can run gnuplot from the Terminal (I have made a symlink to
gnuplot.sh in the Gretl application package).
I just tested on macOS 10.15.3, both the 2020b-git snapshot from
March 5 (which was already in place) and the 2020b release. At first
I had a problem running gnuplot but this was apparently due to a
stale ~/.gretl2rc. After deleting that gnuplot works fine from
within gretl.
I'm now updating the iMac in question to 10.15.4, and we'll see what
happens...
