Have you tried installing Gretl again? Delete your current Gretl.app from /Applications. Install again. Sometimes this appears to solve the problem.

Dear Mirko, could you try to install in a different place (like the desktop)?

Don't ask me why! But you can fix this from the command line. I'm not at a Mac right now so I can't verify the exact commands, but the following is close: sudo rm -rf /Applications/Gretl.app sudo cp -r /Volumes/gretl/Gretl.app /Applications Allin Cottrell _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list Gretl-users(a)lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-users

I am getting the same problem here on my old Snow Leopard's Mac OS X. I tried every suggested solution but nothing works.

Or if you don't have any administrative rights on the system, do rm -f ~/.gretl2rc mkdir ~/Applications then try installing Gretl.app to the Applications folder in your Home folder. Sorry, but it did not work.
