Ah, of course.

Then I got an error because I previously had only removed the fink 
package libxml2 and not libxml2-shlibs. For libxml2-shlibs again one has 
to do --recursive which clears out quite many packages. I wonder whether 
the fink installation will be good for anything else than building gretl 
afterwards ;-)

Oh and it seems that this affects gtksourceview, too, so that will be 
missing in the build I guess (whatever that means, because in the end 
syntax coloring is there).

Gnuplot also gave an error again, as I had also forgotten to remove 
aquaterm-shlibs (including -dev).

Ok, building all over... success -- at least when starting from the 
terminal via ./gretl. (of course with fink disabled)

Double-clicking also works!

creating the dmg I stumbled over cp; one needs the coreutils package and 
watch out a bit -- quoted from the fink database page:
"The commands are named with 'g' prefix like 'gls' or 'gcp'. If you want 
to use them as 'ls' or 'cp', add /sw/lib/coreutils/bin to your PATH or 
install the coreutils-default package."

Ok, I created the dmg alright (hopefully).

So far I didn't do the ScriptExec stuff.

The resulting dmg should be available from:
www.wiwi.uni-frankfurt.de/profs/nautz/downloads/software/gretl.dmg

To anybody else reading this: this is highly experimental, use this only 
for testing purposes! And it's not a 100% current cvs version, either. 
What else? Intel only. Maybe 10.5 (Leopard) only, but I'm sure Allin 
will test it on 10.4.

Enjoy,
