New subject: Installing gretl from source

...
In Debian, those files are included in the libxml2-dev package. I
suppose that
applies to Ubuntu as well. I can compile ok with version 2.6.26.dfsg-1
Have you got libxml2-dev installed? What version? 
Yes, I have libxml2-dev package already installed. The version number
is: 2.6.24.dfsg-1ubuntu1.

...
Thanks for the report.  Could I ask you to take a look at the
"Makefile" generated by configure, in src/gui2?  In particular,
there should be two lines starting
XML_CFLAGS = ...
XML_LIBS = ... 
Yes, the Makefile file has those two lines as:
XML_CFLAGS = -I/usr/include/libxml2
XML_LIBS = -lxml2 -lz -lm

...
A word of advice here (this may or may not be the problem).
When you update the sources from CVS, you should run "configure"
before "make", in case anything to do with the build process has
changed meantime.  Configure (re-)generates the Makefiles, and a
stale Makefile may cause problems. 
I run ./configure before running make in each case. In fact, the first
time I tried to compile the snapshot was on a fresh install of kubuntu
without any gretl installed. After getting the error message, I tried
and succesfully installed the official version. Later, I tried to
install the snapshot again and I got the same error message (after
running ./configure before running make.
