Re: [Gretl-devel] Running CVS and Latest release on the same box

I would like to run both the latest stable release and the cvs on the
same machine. I have installed both in separate directories. My problem
is that gretl 1.9.90 is calling gnuplot from the gretl cvs installation,
i.e.
"C:\Program Files\gretl_cvs\wgnuplot.exe" "C:\Users\Logan
Kelly\AppData\Roaming\gretl\gpttmp.c09324": exit code 1
Instead of
"C:\Program Files\gretl\wgnuplot.exe" "C:\Users\Logan
Kelly\AppData\Roaming\gretl\gpttmp.c09324": exit code 1
Is there a way to tell gretl where gnuplot is? By the way the error from
gnuplot is what has prompted me to do this, but that is another post for
when I have a chance to investigate.
First, the error from gnuplot: this is because the gnuplot version differs
between the last release (4.7) and current CVS (5.0 rc) and there's a
backward incompatible change in gnuplot from 4 to 5: gretl 1.9.90 is
writing version-4 compatible gnuplot files but CVS gretl writes version-5
compatible files.
Gretl is not specifically designed to support multiple installations, but
it should be possible to "fake" it. Try deleting
C:\Users\Logan Kelly\AppData\Roaming\gretl\.gretl2rc
before starting gretl.
