Hi,
I have now seen gretl operate on a Laptop with a 1920x1080 resolution on
a fairly small screen, thus high pixel density. Gretl's window and the
fonts in there look noticeably less sharp / more pixelated than other
programs (say, more "native" Windows programs). I suppose this is a GTK
limitation? Or is there something that can be done?
thanks
sven

Hi,
the following happened when running the awm.inp example file from the
SVAR addon on a console-only installation (Linux), within a "gretlcli"
session via gretl's 'run' command.
The awm.inp script must fail because it tries to send stuff to gnuplot
with the "display" option. That's understood. Here is some error output:
gnuplot stderr: '01:48:52 PM: Error: Unable to initialize GTK+, is
DISPLAY set properly?
Failed to initialize wxWidgets.
'
Failed command: 'gnuplot -persist "/home/gretlcheck/.gretl/gpttmp.plt"'
However, after that I don't get back to the gretlcli prompt ("?"), but
instead gretl(cli) terminates and I'm at the shell prompt. And I think
that's not right.
This is with current git.
thanks
sven

Uhm, that's strange, things work ok here.
It look as if you're running a remote ssh session without X tunneling.

Well, are you testing on a setup without desktop environment?

This is actually on the Linux Subsystem for Windows or what it's called
(WSL), in the form of a Debian userspace. But even if it were ssh
without X tunnel, shouldn't gretl recover gracefully from that error?
The error per se or my setup here is obviously not terribly important.
cheers

Hi all,
Behavior of restrictions with patterns like "b[1, 1] + -2*b[2, 1] = 0" is strange. In the following MWE, the restricted coefficients differ by exactly 1.0 when restrictions are defined in the "bugged" way:
open greene13_1.gdt
# set up system
system name="Grunfeld"
equation I_GM const C_GM F_GM
equation I_WE const C_WE F_WE
end system
# restriction w/bug
restrict "Grunfeld"
b[1,1] + -1.0*b[2,1] = 0.0
end restrict
estimate "Grunfeld" method=sur --iterate
# restriction w/o bug
restrict "Grunfeld"
b[1,1] - 1.0*b[2,1] = 0.0
end restrict
estimate "Grunfeld" method=sur -iterate
This a bug or a feature? Thanks for looking into this.
Best,
Igor
