The gretl GUI can be compiled against either gtk 2 or gtk 3. The requirement for syntax highlighting is that the matching version of gtksourceview (2 or 3) is installed. You should be able to tell what gretl is compiled against via ldd on gretl_x11. Here, for example, I get from ldd /path/to/gretl_x11 | grep gtk the following: libgtksourceview-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-2.0.so.0 (0x00007ffb5baf0000) libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x00007ffb5b4bd000) and, when I apply the above to the gtk 3 version: libgtksourceview-3.0.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgtksourceview-3.0.so.1 (0x00007f6733f84000) libgtk-3.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-3.so.0 (0x00007f6733879000) Allin Cottrell
