Re: [Gretl-users] gretl 1.9.8 released

Hi, I'm using Gretl on Fedora and build the package myself (altough its now on Fedora repos, which is great). I'm attaching the procedure to build your own package and installing it. First you have to install rpmbuild (as root: yum install rpmbuild) Then, as root, copy the attached spec on /root/rpmbuild/SPECS (you have just update the version each time there is a new version, and also the number of the Fedora distribution) Then download the source file from Gretl webpage ( http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gretl/gretl-1.9.8.tar.bz2) Then, as root, run: rpmbuild -bb /root/rpmbuild/SPECS/gretl.spec Then (if everything is ok, which is my case): yum erase gretl Then install the new version: cd /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686 rpm -Uvh gretl-1.9.8-1.fc16.i686.rpm and that's all. Maybe you need to install additional packages, if you have errors. Hope this help.
