Dear Allin, I am trying your solution but it seems that Gretl is build using gtk2 Configuration: Installation path: /usr/local Use readline library: yes Use gnuplot for graphs: yes Use LaTeX for typesetting output: yes Use libgsf for zip/unzip: no MPFR support: yes sse2 support for RNG: yes OpenMP support: no AVX support for arithmetic: no Build with GTK version: 2.0 Build gretl documentation: yes Use Lucida fonts: no Build message catalogs: yes X-12-ARIMA support: yes TRAMO/SEATS support: yes libR support: yes ODBC support: no Experimental audio support: no Use xdg-utils in installation: if DESTDIR not set but in terminal the gtk3 seems to be installed *dpkg -s libgtk-3-0|grep '^Version' | cut -d' ' -f2-* *3.8.6-0ubuntu3.1+broadway2 * how can I force Gretl to builld againt GTK3. I tested with gedit and it works perfectly.
