Dear all,
Several minutes ago I run on
Ubuntu 15.04 the shell script below
<shell
git pull
./configure --enable-openmp --enable-build-doc --with-odbc
make -j 2
make pdfdocs
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

whereas in XP snapshot I have a newer
version of the same file, dated October 6, 2015

Please, help

Dear Allin and Jack,
The "ESS" abbreviation stands for "error sum of squares"?
Best,

print cmd with bundles
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
new day, new bug...
Try:
bundle bcheck
bcheck.o = 2
print bcheck.o
This prints the series with number 2, not the number 2 itself.
cheers,

tags in the new package editor questions
by oleg_komashko＠ukr.net
Dear all,
1) I am afraid, I have missed the instruction.
What should I do with older packages?
Insert tags and re-upload them as soon as possible,
or I can wait till I'll upload upgraded versions?
2) What is supposed to be uploaded under
C88: Other Computer Software tag?

weird bug saying unmatched endif
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
it wasn't easy hunting this one down in the sense of provoking the error
in a small (probably not minimal) example:
<hansl>
open denmark
function scalar heyhey (list in)
var 20 in # 20 is too much -> error
return 3
end function
if 5 < 10
list lulu = LRM LRY IBO IDE
catch scalar what = heyhey(lulu)
if $error
print "aha"
endif
endif
</hansl>
When I run this under Sep 20th's snapshot I get an error telling me I
have an unmatched "endif" ('ungepaartes "endif"' in German), which I
think is quite obviously not true.
I also would be grateful for any hints about workarounds, because I want
to use the real-world version of this type of code on a remote machine
where I cannot update the gretl version myself.
thanks,
sven

A small, pedantic gripe about "models" in gretl
by Lee Adkins
Hi all,
I have a very small complaint to make about the GUI label "Model" in the
main gretl window. I think Model is misnamed since it doesn't contain any
models. The drop down list consists of estimators, right? I make a big
deal about the differences between models and estimators in class, there it
is in gretl contradicting me.
Cheers,
Lee

modtest: --quiet and --silent options partly not respected
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
I'm referring to tests after a 'var' command, perhaps (probably?)
similar problems affect other estimators:
1) modtest --normality --quiet: "--quiet" has no effect (everything is
printed)
2) modtest --normality --silent: "--silent" has no effect (everything is
printed)
3) modtest --autocorr --quiet: ok (same as silent, nothing)
4) modtest --autocorr --silent: ok (nothing)
(And BTW, there are only separate tests for each equation, don't we have
any Portmanteau type of test?)
5) modtest --arch --quiet: ok
6) modtest --arch --silent: some message stubs are still printed
This is still with 1.10.2.
Thanks,
sven

zero frequency unit root tests for quarter/monthly data: a need for new option?
by oleg_komashko＠ukr.net
Dear all,
As it is clear from [Patterson, K. D. Unit root tests in time series, volume 1, 13.7]
in the absence of seasonal unit roots, seasonality is just a particular case
of autocorrelation, which is routinely dealt with including sufficient lags
in ADF-type tests or sufficiently large window in PP-type tests.
So, with the first generations tests we have two possibilities:
include seasonal dummies, or set minimum lag length to ($pd-1)
With tests having no include seasonal dummies option the second
one is the only valid way to proceed.
So, my proposition is to include option:
set minimum lag length as ($pd-1) for zero frequency (i.e. usual,
non-seasonal) unit root tests
