 You could try to remove the .gretl directory in you home path.
 For example with:
 $ rm -r .gretl
 Try gretl after that. 
If the problem is that gretl won't run (properly) after replacing a 
standard distro version with a self-compiled version, I think the
thing to remove is probably the config file :
rm ~/.gretl2rc
