Re: Problem updating from cvs in Fedora 8

Allin

I was interrupted as I was sending the original version of this email
and it appears that I did not send the message that I intended to
send.  Apologies if  a duplicate or partial duplicate has already been
sent

Thank you for your help.  'make clean' solved the problem with the cvs
update.  I will maintain Gretl in this way in future.

I have also looked at the rpm dependencies problem.   When I try to us
rpm I get the following messages.  I have tried both the current
version (1.7.7) and the earlier version (1.7.1) that I first tried.
The output is below.

[root <at> localhost gretl]# rpm -U gretl-1.7.7-1gtk2.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
       libblas.so is needed by gretl-1.7.7-1gtk2.i586
       libgfortran.so.3 is needed by gretl-1.7.7-1gtk2.i586
       liblapack.so is needed by gretl-1.7.7-1gtk2.i586
       libpixman-1.so.0 is needed by gretl-1.7.7-1gtk2.i586

If I use rpm to query the versions installed I get

[frainj <at> localhost ~]$ rpm -q readline
readline-5.2-10.fc8

The older gretl rpm was built against version 4 of libreadline, 
which is now too old to be supported by Fedora -- that's expected.  
Let's focus on the gretl 1.7.7 rpm and the other libraries.

I suspect the basic problem may be that while the current gretl 
rpm was built on a system using gcc 4.3, with libgfortran.so.3, 
the default libgfortran version on fc8 is older.  But I could be 
wrong.  You could try

After a little googling, I'm confirmed in this opinion.  I think 
you'd need fc9 to use the current gretl rpm -- but perhaps "yum 
update <stuff>" may work to bring fc8 up to date?

Use your desktop?   

Seriously, how on earth is anybody supposed to diagnose your problem when the only information you give is
that it's a laptop? Please state OS, version, etc etc.

thanks and good luck,

Compiling gretl on Windows

I have started learning C in order to be able to help in the development of
gretl. My earlier programming experinces are mostly MATLAB, R, GAUSS and
FORTRAN. I am working on Windows, and wants to compile and develop gretl on
Windows.

Well, now I want all useful help to get this project working. What are your
experiences on compiling gretl on Windows?

Which compiler is best to use? MinGW? Or is it possible to use the
Microsoft Visual C++ compiler?

Right now I am in the beginning, trying to figure out which IDE is best to
use. I am choosing between Code::Blocks, Dev-C++, wxDev-C++ and Microsoft
Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.

Any suggestion about which to use?

Dev-C++ and wxDev-C++ seems to have integrated support for CVS, which
should be good when working with gretl. But  it looks like they are not in
active development anymore. Code::Blocks is free, cross-platform, in active
development, and supports multiple compilers, including MinGW and Microsoft
Visual C++. On the other hand, Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
seems to have more help files and many other good features.

Best regards
Andreas

That's great!

My experience with this is limited, but I'll try to compile some 
useful information and post it here before long.

That's gretl 1.7.7 on the Mac?  Apparently your OS X installation 
of gretl is missing part of GTK.  I'll check that this evening on 
the Mac on which I build gretl.
