Hi everybody! I'm running gretl 1.9.14 on debian testing/sid with gnome shell 64 bit. Everything works fine except the syntax highlighting. I checked on gretl dependencies and I got a very generic gtksourceview. Can someone tell me which are the right packages to install in order to have syntax highlighting on gretl script editor?

I had this: ldd /usr/bin/gretl_x11 | grep gtk libgtksourceview-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-2.0.so.0 (0x0000003f6d000000) libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x0000003f6d400000)

I just typed sudo apt-get install gretl on the terminal

There's no gretl.lang in none of the folder you mentioned. Is this the problem?

In any case this is what I have: The results of ldd /path/to/gretl_x11 | grep gtk are: libgtksourceview-3.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtksourceview-3.0.so.0 (0x00007f9f07538000) libgtk-3.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-3.so.0 (0x00007f9f06ead000) and gretl.lang is in: /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/gretl.lang /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs/gretl.lang -- Firma Arista *Ignacio Díaz-Emparanza* Zuzendaria/Director ignacio.diaz-emparanza(a)ehu.es <mailto:ignacio.diaz.emparanza@ehu.es> 94 6013732 *EKONOMIA APLIKATUA III SAILA (EKONOMETRIA ETA ESTATISTIKA)/ DEPARTAMENTO DE ECONOMÍA APLICADA III (ECONOMETRÍA Y ESTADÍSTICA) UPV/EHU* Avda.

Sorry, so if I took a gretl.lang file somewhere and put it into /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/ I'd solve my problem, right?

I checked in packages.debian.org all the files provided by the package gretl-common. I've found out that gretl.lang isn't anymore provided by gretl-common 1.9.14 and gretl-common 1.9.9-1 but only by gretl-common 1.9.1-2. Also, the file gretl.lang, according to debian packages, put gretl.lang in /usr/share/gretl/gtksourceview, a folder that doesn't exist in the latest version of gretl (at least, I don't have it). Anyway, by creating this folder I didn't have syntax highlighting yet. I moved the file to /usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/ and finally it worked. Anyway, this thing that gretl.lang is not provided by the latest version of gretl-common for debian is quite strange in my opinion.
