Thanks for persevering with an independent build on OS X!

gretl.desktop is supposed to be generated by the configure script. It should be in the xdg subdirectory of your build directory. [...]

Is there still a problem? Unfortunately, yes [:-(]. When I enter "sudo make install" I get this: <output> (...) gretl.desktop /Users/henrique/Documents/Desenvolvimento/build/share/applications make[1]: gretl.desktop: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [sh-install] Error 1 make: *** [install] Error 2 </output> If you think it could help us, I can send the complete output.

Dear Allin, Attached you will find all the output from the entire process. Again, I really want to thank you for your help and persistence!
