I am running PC-BSD and have tried to use the "pkg-add" command to 
install "gretl" on my system, as the following transcript shows.

It appears that there is something about the "pdflib" package and or 
port that might need to be repaired, or "gnuplot" or ??

Could you please give me some advice on how to proceed so that "gretl" 
can be installed successfully on my system??

Thanks!

John
