=== KNOWN ISSUE ===
The 32-bit ("i386") version of the gretl 1.9.14-2 package for
Ubuntu/Mint WILL NOT RUN on computers that don't support the AVX
instruction set. This includes all CPUs that date from before
2011. Gretl will fail as soon as you try to do anything,
with the message "Illegal instruction" on standard error output.
This is due to an error in the Ubuntu build process. We're currently
working to resolve the problem, but please note that the gretl team
does not produce the packages offered by the various Linux
distributions, so we're not in a position to fix this sort of thing
directly.
