Hello All,
I installed gretl 1.6.0 for OS X on my Mac (version 10.4.8) using the
disk image gretl-1.6.0.dmg. When I click open gretl, I get a terminal
window with the following information:
Last login: Thu Oct 5 09:46:16 on ttyp1
/Applications/Gretl_Folder/gretl; exit
Welcome to Darwin!
users-computer:~ Andy$ /Applications/Gretl_Folder/gretl; exit
Then, I get a separate dialog box with a statement, "Press Run to run
this script, or Quit to quit." However gretl does not respond to
pressing either the "Quit" or "Run" buttons. I cannot proceed from
there.
What should I do???

The thing that's not responding here is not gretl itself but an
applescript wrapper. To run gretl itself (and hence find out what
the real problem is):
Start X11 (Applications/Utilities/X11)
In an xterm window, navigate to Gretl_Folder and change directory
("cd") to the "bin" folder inside.
Type
./gretl.sh
and hit Return.

Thank you for your message.
I opened the terminal and proceeded to /Applications/Gretl_Folder/bin.
Then I executed ./gretl.sh The response I obtained is the following:
--
users-computer://Applications/Gretl_Folder/bin Andy$ ./gretl.sh
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrandr.2.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/Gretl_Folder/bin/gretl_x11
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

The file, gretl_X11, is in this folder.
By the way, X11 is not in my Applications/Utilities folder. Do I need
to install it?

The file, gretl_X11, is in this folder.
By the way, X11 is not in my Applications/Utilities folder. Do I need
to install it?
Yes, gretl will not run without it
http://gretl.sourceforge.net/osx.html
It's on the Tiger installation DVD, though I guess it's not
installed by default.

A student here has a mac which showed the same symptoms. Turned out he didn't
have X11 installed, either; I guess a standard installation of OSX doesn't
include X11. After installing X11, gretl runs, but not via the "gretl" file in
the main gretl folder. That just hangs; it doesn't crash, it just stays there
doing nothing visible and has to be killed by hand. OTOH, opening a shell
("Terminal" in OSX parlance) and running the "gretl.sh" script from
the bin
directory, as per your previous attempt, works ok.

Hello All,
More Gretl problems..... I installed X11 successfully on my Mac Tiger
10.4.8. I opened a terminal window, cd to Gretl_Folder/bin and type
./gretl.sh but I get the complaint:
(gretl_x11:386): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
users-computer://Applications/Gretl_Folder/bin Andy$
Any suggestions on what to do?
Best wishes,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
It will open if you don't use the regular terminal, but instead use
xterm. Open x11 and it should appear, otherwise choose from the menu:
applications and then terminal. Then it should function properly
Regards,
Matthijs
