[Gretl-devel] Problem Installing/updating function file on Mac OS X Lion/Snow Leopard

I'm testing the latest gretl snapshot on Max OS X Lion 10.7.2 and Max OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8. On Lion I had no function files installed. 1. I try to install the gig package from the server without realising that gig is part of Gretl.app. Gretl downloads the package (so I assume since I'm seeing a progress bar) but then gives the message "Unspecified error". But now comes the weird thing: menu Help, Check addons says that gig 2.1 is installed. So does File, Function files, On local machine (But shows version 2.0 for Function files, On server) This also the case on Snow Leopard. Inspecting Gretl.app/Contents/Resources/share/gretl/functions/gig reveals that some files have been updated (dated Yesterday) but not all (they have a date (mm-dd-yyyy) 13-10-2011). Before trying the install of gig from the server in Gretl.app (regardless of Lion or Snow Leopard) all these files are dated Yesterday. Initially I thought the problem was Lion specific but it isn't. Gretl is trying to install an older version of gig on top of a newer version. 2. Trying to install a not installed function file gives the error message "Couldn't find <package name> for gretl 1.9.7" (this is regardless of Snow Leopard or Lion). Gretl doesn't seem to take the <minver> field into account. 3. The pdf for gig mentions version 2.2! But gig.gfn has the version set to 2.1 Berend
