gretl-quartz, take 3
by Allin Cottrell
I've now published a third go at this, in
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/osx-testing/
On OS X 10.6.8, at least, it fixes some (not all) of the issues
mentioned by Henrique and Berend. Among other things, there's
support for the R shared library and there's a window listing under
the top-level Mac Window menu. Some of the keyboard accelerators are
better than before.

'catch' problem (in SVAR package)
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
a colleague asked me about a non-convergence problem with his
application of the SVAR package. I can replicate the error, which gives:
...
Das Konvergenzkriterium wurde nicht getroffen
*** error in function estC
> catch scalar ll = NRmax(theta, "loglik(&theta, &dat, -1)",
"scoreC(&g, &theta, &dat)", "PseudoHessC(&H, &theta, &dat)")
called by function SVAR_estimate
Fehler bei Skriptausführung: Stopp
> SVAR_estimate(&Mod,1) # 1 = not quiet
...
(BTW, this is a type-2 "C" model call, if you want to pinpoint the exact
line in the code that is called.)
Sorry for the German, but this actually gave me a thought here: the
error message ("convergence criterion not met", in German) comes from an
internal function because it is translated. I assume it's from NRmax(),
but then I wonder: isn't Jack's use of 'catch' supposed to suppress this
error message or at least suppress the interruption?
thanks,
sven

Interest In Contributing
by Thomas Zinckgraf
Hello,
This is the first open source project I am contributing to, so I am not
entirely sure where to start. I graduated college less than a year ago in
Computer Science and I currently work as a python developer, although I
have done work with C++. What would be a good way to start contributing to
the project?
Regards,
Tom
