Re: [Gretl-devel] gretlcli termination (crash?) with gnuplot error

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