OK, so (please correct me if I'm wrong) you're trying to install the
gretl 2023a package for intel Mac from sourceforge on macOS Ventura
(13.2.1), and the error message you're getting is not that the pkg
file "can't be opened" (which would indicate a security problem) but
that "The installation failed" (indicating some unspecified problem).
I've now tested installation of gretl 2023a for M1 on macOS 13.2.1,
and gretl 2023a for Intel on macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina), in both cases
without any problem. I'm not able to test the exact combination of
macOS version and processor that you describe, so right now I have no
idea what's going wrong. However, there's one resource that might be
helpful: the "console" app that should appear under
Applications/Utilities and that displays messages about various
goings-on on a Mac. Could you please try again to install gretl, and
see if the console output includes any hint of what the problem was?
Thanks,
Allin Cottrell
