I ended up trying this on my home computer because it makes life 
much easier.

The Debian file I was trying to get for libgretl-dev was a 
package rather than the source, I think, and I couldn't find the 
source or any sort of Windows version. Anyway commands like
> install_librtod2(gretl="usr/lib/libgretl-1.0.so", 
> libr="usr/lib/R/lib/libR.so")
don't make much sense as .so is only for linux. I tried it anyway 
and got an error about the cd command not being found (wasn't the 
error I expected, but oh well).

I seem to be able to import the dmdinline library just fine. When 
I run
compileD("foo", txt)
I get

Error in file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) :
   cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) :
   cannot open file 'C:/Users/John/Documents/.rtod2/config.R': No 
such file or directory

I don't know where the config.R file is located.
