On the Mac on which I test, I see "/sw/bin/pdflatex", since this program is part of a Fink installation, which lives in /sw. If pdflatex is not found, the option in question will not be active. If pdflatex is installed OK, but is not in your path, you can modify PATH accordingly, probably in the file named ".profile" (possibly ".bash_profile") in your home directory. export PATH=$PATH:/where/is/pdflatex where, of course, you substitute for "/where/is/pdflatex" the path to the directory that contains pdflatex. An alternative to the above (I think) is to go into gretl's /Tools/Preferences/General/Programs menu and ensure that the item "Command to compile TeX files" is correctly configured. Allin Cottrell
