Sorry, I don't have a regular schedule for making snapshots of the
sources. In general, CVS is a possibility:
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=36234
But also I've just made a snapshot:

Thanks very much for the CVS snapshot of latest gretl Professor
Cottrell. And I must say compiling is really fun. In the last few days
I was able to run the latest versions of Lyx and Kile by means of
compiling. This saves me from using outdated packages (somehow) in the
dapper repos. There was a problem with compiling the gretl CVS file
though. During the make process, I got an error about two missing
files. I don't know why this happened but can it be something to do
with the snapshot? Because the official version compiles without any
problems. Here is the error message I get:

In Debian, those files are included in the libxml2-dev package. I suppose that
applies to Ubuntu as well. I can compile ok with version 2.6.26.dfsg-1
.
Have you got libxml2-dev installed? What version?

You're welcome.
During the make process, I got an error about two missing
files...

Thanks for the report. Could I ask you to take a look at the
"Makefile" generated by configure, in src/gui2? In particular,
there should be two lines starting
XML_CFLAGS = ...
XML_LIBS = ...
I wonder what it says on those lines, in your case? (I'm
puzzled, because it seems that if "configure" could not find
valid values to fill out those lines, it ought to have failed;
but if it did fill out those lines with valid values, "make"
should not have failed).

A word of advice here (this may or may not be the problem).
When you update the sources from CVS, you should run "configure"
before "make", in case anything to do with the build process has
changed meantime. Configure (re-)generates the Makefiles, and a
stale Makefile may cause problems.

New subject: gretl database issue
I currently have gretl 1.5.1 build 6/15/2006 installed on a win2k system
and there seems to be some trouble with the database features under the
file menu.
If I click file->browse databases-->gretl native, I get the list of native
databases. But if I highlight one of the databases and click "open," the
database list just disappears.
When I revert to the 1.5.1 build from 3/23/2006 this eliminates the
database problem.

Yes, I just noticed that problem myself. I've now put a new
snapshot in place that fixes that issue:

Warning: panel mdel estimation is work-in-progress in the
current snapshot.
