Re: Gretl - software for econometrics

Well, you're gonna have some problems

From what I remember (but that was some time ago, perhaps the installation process has improved), installing LAPACK (or LINPACK for that matter) isn't that easy.
I searched the forums, but apparently no one has made a package for it until now.
You could try to build a package yourself, you could probably install it without making a
package (but I think that this isn't the best way, since it makes it difficult to upgrade/uninstall it
afterwards), or you can ask for someone to build the package for you (which I think is
what you just did here ) .

If I have some free time later, I will try to build the package for you. But I can't promess
I'll be able to do it any time soon.

The LAPACK documentation appears to be alot better now than last time I saw it, so
perhaps you should take a look at it .
