[Gretl-devel] Re: X13 and Tramo-Seats running problems
Thanks for the report, Francesca. I tested on Windows 11 today, and
both x13as and tramo/seats were working OK for me. However, I see
something that could be a problem. The DLLs required by those extra
programs (namely, libgfortran-5.dll and libgcc_s_seh-1.dll) are
supplied in the gretl installation directory, typically C:\Program
Files\gretl. But the extra programs install into their own parallel
subdirectories under Program Files, and I guess it's not guaranteed
that they'll find the DLLs they need.
I think the DLLs will be found if the gretl installation directory is
in the Windows PATH. When you run the gretl installer there's a
check-box option to add the gretl directory to PATH (not selected by
default). It might be worth reinstalling gretl with that option
selected. Alternatively, one could add the gretl directory to PATH
manually, as explained at
https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/
But I'll look into this further and see if there's a reliable way of
ensuring that the DLLS are found.
