Sorry - wrong e-mail address!
Is there a difference between the gzip source files for 1.7.9 on
Sourceforge and the Ricardo ftp server?
I tried to compile the Sourceforge version on a new installation of
OpenSuse and received an error message in the make phase. Then I
tried again using the gzip file downloaded from Ricardo. There were
two differences - (a) the configure stage asked for a different
version of the libxml2 library, and (b) after I dealt with this the
make stage was successful. Unfortunately, because of the volume of
make messages I do not have a record of the error message generated
by the Sourceforge code.
Finally, for some strange reason my attempts to install the generic
rpm file on OpenSuse fail because the package manager says that it
cannot find libblas.so.0 and liblapack.so.0, even though appropriate
versions of libblas and liblapack are installed with symbolic links
created for these two library names. Obviously there is some problem
in resolving library names.

No, they are identical.

For good measure I unzipped the two archives and ran "diff" on the
respective configure scripts, which confirmed that they are
exactly the same.
Finally, for some strange reason my attempts to install the
generic rpm file on OpenSuse fail because the package manager

Yes. Neither libblas.so.0 nor liblapack.so.0 is an "official"
dependency so far as the gretl rpms are concerned:
For the RHEL version:
waverley:~/tmp$ rpm -qpR gretl-1.7.9-1RHEL.i586.rpm | grep lapack
liblapack.so.3
waverley:~/tmp$ rpm -qpR gretl-1.7.9-1RHEL.i586.rpm | grep blas
libblas.so.3
And for the modern version:
waverley:~/tmp$ rpm -qpR gretl-1.7.9-1gtk2.i586.rpm | grep lapack
liblapack.so
waverley:~/tmp$ rpm -qpR gretl-1.7.9-1gtk2.i586.rpm | grep blas
libblas.so
It looks as if the library symlinks on your system may be wrong.

OpenSuse always gave me troubles with lapack/blas.
I believe that the last time I have fixed it, was with a reinstall of
lapack/blas. Try a Fedora rpm.
