OK, good to hear.
I have also looked at the rpm dependencies problem. When I try
to us rpm I get the following messages. I have tried both the
current version (1.7.7) and the earlier version (1.7.1) that I
first tried. The output is below.
[root@localhost gretl]# rpm -U gretl-1.7.7-1gtk2.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libblas.so is needed by gretl-1.7.7-1gtk2.i586
libgfortran.so.3 is needed by gretl-1.7.7-1gtk2.i586
liblapack.so is needed by gretl-1.7.7-1gtk2.i586
libpixman-1.so.0 is needed by gretl-1.7.7-1gtk2.i586
[root@localhost gretl]# rpm -U gretl-1.7.1-1gtk2.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libreadline.so.4 is needed by gretl-1.7.1-1gtk2.i586
The older gretl rpm was built against version 4 of libreadline,
which is now too old to be supported by Fedora -- that's expected.
Let's focus on the gretl 1.7.7 rpm and the other libraries.
I suspect the basic problem may be that while the current gretl
rpm was built on a system using gcc 4.3, with libgfortran.so.3,
the default libgfortran version on fc8 is older. But I could be
wrong. You could try
gcc -v
to get the gcc version, and
locate libgfortran | grep so\.
to get the libgfortran version number.
Allin.
