Dear Riccardo and Allin,
I have experienced some trouble with a newly compiled gretl from CVS (Linux
Mint Debian Edition) but luckily a 2012-10-09 message from Riccardo
advising to use “sudo ldconfig” helped overcome the “error while loading
shared libraries: libgretl-1.0.so.9” error message that popped if gretl
were started from console. After “make” and “sudo make install”, the
standard way of launching gretl (through buttons from the start menu)
didn’t work, so I resorted to the console, googled the error message, found
Riccardo’s answer and implemented it. And it worked! However, there is one
question: could you announce it (or include it somewhere in the compiler
readme) that the command “sudo ldconfig” should be used if gretl GUI just
won’t start after the compilation? Or maybe, since “make install” is
invoked by the superuser, one of the last steps of the installation should
be a forced “ldconfig” run just in case? Or does it seem potentially more
toxic rather than remedying?
P.S. The nested “--progressive” loops no longer crash the programme, thank
you very much for the fix!
