Hi,
I have a student who wants to load Gretl on his Mac. He emailed me that
when he tries to open Gretl he gets an error message saying he needs
Mac's X11. What is this?
Thanks,
Walt

It's an Apple provided application which implements an X11 server (if that is the
correct word) within Mac OS X.
If it isn't installed on his computer, then I assume he is running Mac OS X 10.4
(Tiger).
If the computer is running Snow Leopard, it should be available (I can't remember the
situation for Leopard).
The application X11 is on the installer dvd which came with the computer.
Install it and try again.
See the "please note:" on the gretl OSX page
(http://gretl.sourceforge.net/osx.html)

Hi Berend,
Thanks for the response. I passed this on to the student.
Thanks,
Walt

Addendum to my previous reply:
Your student should also install the GTK+ framework.
See the Gretl OSX page at http://gretl.sourceforge.net/osx.html (at the start of the
page).
