Thanks, but it's still the same result from Kickoff. If I type gretl at the
terminal, I get:
The program 'gretl' is currently not installed. You can install it by
typing:
sudo apt-get install gretl
Is /usr/local/bin in your PATH? (Try "echo $PATH" to see.)
Also, note that on my system:
clive@clivubu:~/Downloads/gretl-1.9.11$ ldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig.real: Can't create temporary cache file
/etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied
Not surprising; that's why Sven suggested "sudo ldconfig".
Possible problems here:
1) /usr/local bin is not in PATH
2) /usr/local/lib is not referenced by ldconfig (see ld.so.conf)
3) There's some mess-up between a previous installation of gretl via
KDE and your new installation under /usr/local. This may be fixable
by doing "rm -f ~/.gretl2rc".
Assuming you succeeded in installing gretl into /usr/local/bin, you
should be able to get a more informative error message by doing
/usr/local/bin/gretl
in a terminal window.
