[David Vonka]

Binary package hint: gretl

vonkad@Extensa-5510:~$ gretl
Couldn't read /home/vonkad/.gretl2rc
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

creating the .gretl2rc directory does not help, neither does removing the .gretl directory
from previous versions

This also affects me on Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit (just released final). I've tried reinstalling, completelly removing gretl but nothing helped.

This bug has been corrected upstream, see here: http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-users/2011-April/006175.html

The Debian Sid package should work. Could someone at Canonical update it in the repos?

I would also like to see this fixed downstream.
