I explained in the reply to Sven that I did try this and after that quote.
Possible problems here:
1) /usr/local bin is not in PATH
It is:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
clive@clivubu:~/Downloads/gretl-1.9.11$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) /usr/local/lib is not referenced by ldconfig (see ld.so.conf)
From that directory, it would appear not:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
clive@clivubu:/usr/local/lib$ sudo ldconfig -f conf
[sudo] password for clive:
/sbin/ldconfig.real: Can't open configuration file conf: No such file or directory
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) There's some mess-up between a previous installation of gretl via
KDE and your new installation under /usr/local. This may be fixable
by doing "rm -f ~/.gretl2rc".
I've passed over this, because...
Assuming you succeeded in installing gretl into /usr/local/bin, you
should be able to get a more informative error message by doing
/usr/local/bin/gretl
in a terminal window.
I get:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
clive@clivubu:~/Downloads/gretl-1.9.11$ /usr/local/bin/gretl
bash: /usr/local/bin/gretl: No such file or directory
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bad news, then. But this is all after having reinstalled 1.9.11 from scratch _after_ removing 1.9.6. via Muon. So I don't understand why this is happening.
