[Gretl-users] Installing version 1.7.9 from source code

Sorry - wrong e-mail address! Is there a difference between the gzip source files for 1.7.9 on Sourceforge and the Ricardo ftp server? I tried to compile the Sourceforge version on a new installation of OpenSuse and received an error message in the make phase. Then I tried again using the gzip file downloaded from Ricardo. There were two differences - (a) the configure stage asked for a different version of the libxml2 library, and (b) after I dealt with this the make stage was successful. Unfortunately, because of the volume of make messages I do not have a record of the error message generated by the Sourceforge code. Finally, for some strange reason my attempts to install the generic rpm file on OpenSuse fail because the package manager says that it cannot find libblas.so.0 and liblapack.so.0, even though appropriate versions of libblas and liblapack are installed with symbolic links created for these two library names. Obviously there is some problem in resolving library names. Gordon
