Allin could you please substitute the database in the gretl db server?
Thanks, will do.
A remainder: we need a solution for the problem of the icons (and
text) of
the help menu.

OK, let's see if we can get to the bottom of this. Here's how the first
five items on the main-window Help menu have been specified in the gretl
code to date:
1. ["manual" icon] Command reference
2. [no icon] Function reference
----
3. [PDF icon] User's Guide
4. [PDF icon] Command reference
5. [PDF icon] Keyboard shortcuts
(And that's how I'm seeing them, on all the various gretl builds I've
worked with.)
But here's how they look for Ignacio (gretl CVS compiled on Ubuntu 12.04):
1. [gretl icon] Command reference
2. [no icon] Function reference
----
3. [gretl icon] User's Guide
4. [gretl icon] Command reference
5. [gretl icon] Keyboard shortcuts
That is, both the "manual" icon and the PDF icon are replaced by the
generic gretl icon, destroying the visual distinction between the two
help formats.
Now, I have no idea why the menu looks like that for Ignacio. Is anyone
else seeing the same? Just maybe, the xpm files that underlie the gretl
icons have got jumbled somehow. It might be worth deleting all the .xpm
files in the "pixmaps" directory in the gretl source tree and reloading
them from the CSV repository, and see if that makes any difference.
While I don't understand the source of the incorrect icons in Ignacio's
build, I decided to make a small change in CVS anyway. Since all the PDF
files have the same icon, it seemed inconsistent that entry 2 didn't have
the same icon as entry 1. In addition the "manual" icon is not all that
great, so I've replaced it with the stock help icon. So in CSV as of now
here's how those 5 items should look:
1. [help icon] Command reference
2. [help icon] Function reference
----
3. [PDF icon] User's Guide
4. [PDF icon] Command reference
5. [PDF icon] Keyboard shortcuts
