In addition to my earlier mail regarding a starting point for gretl in fedora, I found an updated URL (should be stable but the website itself is not yet really finished):<br><a href="https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/gretl">https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/gretl</a><br>
<br>@Leandro:<br>Please don&#39;t build rpms as root, should work fine even as user and I really don&#39;t see a reason why you should build it yourself if it&#39;s available from the repos (for quite some time now).<br><br>

Hi,<br><br>I&#39;m using Gretl on Fedora and build the package myself (altough its now on Fedora repos, which is great). I&#39;m attaching the procedure to build your own  package and installing it.<br><br>First you have to install rpmbuild (as root: yum install rpmbuild)<br>

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)<br>Then download the source file from Gretl webpage (<a href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gretl/gretl-1.9.8.tar.bz2" target="_blank">http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gretl/gretl-1.9.8.tar.bz2</a>)<br>

<br>Then, as root, run:  rpmbuild -bb /root/rpmbuild/SPECS/gretl.spec<br>Then (if everything is ok, which is my case): yum erase gretl<br>Then install the new version: <br>cd /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686<br>rpm -Uvh gretl-1.9.8-1.fc16.i686.rpm<br>

<br>and that&#39;s all. <br><br>Maybe you need to install additional packages, if you have errors.<br><br>Hope this help.<br><br>Regards,<br>Leandro<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">El 29 de marzo de 2012 21:09, Allin Cottrell <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:cottrell@wfu.edu" target="_blank">cottrell@wfu.edu</a>&gt;</span> escribió:<div>

&gt; just pushed the updates to the fedora 16 and 17 repos after a flawless<br>
&gt; build. Don&#39;t know if it&#39;s worth noting on the gretl page that fedora<br>
&gt; provides packages for it.<br>
<br>
</div>Yes, definitely, I&#39;ll take care of that. It&#39;s great that Fedora<br>
offers up-to-date gretl and that should be mentioned on our site.<br>
<div><br>
&gt; Those packages or src.rpms could probably be used on any rpm<br>
&gt; distro after a rebuild. Don&#39;t know how you build the rpm you are<br>
&gt; offering on the webpage.<br>
<br>
</div>I&#39;ve installed an rpm build system on my own (non-distro) working<br>
Linux laptop, but I have to admit I don&#39;t know how many systems will<br>
actually be able to run the resulting binary rpm.<br>
<br>
(I might mention that I&#39;ve recently installed 64-bit Fedora 16 on my<br>
home PC and I&#39;m very pleased with it. No doubt I&#39;ll update to 17<br>
soon.)<br>
