I don't even use Gretl, but sometimes it needs to be available to others. That's why I created Gretl SlackBuilds, and now I have tried to build it for SL.
I pulled the following required packages from the Fedora build at
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=gretl.git;a=blob_plain;f=gretl.spec;hb=fe69e968cb87ca23907ba147a8071420f702a960
BuildRequires: desktop-file-utils
BuildRequires: gtk2-devel
BuildRequires: glib2-devel
BuildRequires: blas-devel
BuildRequires: fftw-devel
BuildRequires: gettext
BuildRequires: libxml2-devel
BuildRequires: gtksourceview-devel
BuildRequires: libgnomeui-devel
BuildRequires: lapack-devel
BuildRequires: readline-devel
BuildRequires: ncurses-devel
BuildRequires: gmp-devel
BuildRequires: mpfr-devel
BuildRequires: gnuplot
BuildRequires: gnu-free-sans-fonts
BuildRequires: bitstream-vera-sans-mono-fonts
BuildRequires: bitstream-vera-sans-fonts
I made sure all of that stuff was installed. Then I did
./configure --with-lapack-prefix=/usr
make -j 4
make check
make install (as root)
Be sure you have everything in the list above. I thought I did, but missed libgnomeui-devel. It compiled and installed, but I ended up with only gretlcli. It won't necessarily fail if you're missing something.
There are packages available on the Gretl homepage, but not 64-bit, which is why I did the compilation. Now if only I could figure out how to get ACML to work with Gretl...
