I just downgraded to gretl-1.10.0-1.fc20.x86_64 and it does not exhibit the illegal instruction error that 1.10.1 shows.

Comment 2 hannes 2015-04-22 04:23:30 UTC
Hi,

sorry for the inconvenience. I reported it upstream, perhaps you could then help us out, if we need more information. Please be aware, that 1.10.0 had an error in the adf test. [2]

Thanks a lot,
johannes

- Fix bug: breakage in ADF test: giving more than one
  deterministics option with the "adf" command (in its basic 
  form) should not provoke an error
