Hello  again, 

Thanks for your previous helps. All things went well up to now. However, I have a new problem. I have prepared a function in which I prepare data for arma function and use it according to Mr.Cottrell sample code. 

However, when i call this function twice iteratively, something weird is happening and I cannot figure out the reason. 


It only prints: "user-specified BFGS tolerance = 2.75859e-313
kalman_arma: optimizer returned 33 "

Here is a code part to show how I call those functions, and the part that is using libgretl respectively:

/* how i call function 
makeEstimation(conDISK,"santralName1") ;
makeEstimation(conDISK,"santralName2") ;
*/

/* libgretl usage inside of makeEstimation function *****
libgretl_init();
gretl_setenv("GRETL_PLUGIN_PATH", "/usr/local/lib/gretl-gtk2/"); // gretl path should be set.
prn = gretl_print_new(GRETL_PRINT_STDOUT, NULL);
dset = datainfo_new();
err = gretl_read_native_data(fileName, dset);
if (err)
      {
pprintf(prn, "Got error %d reading data from %s\n", err,
fileName);
errmsg(err, prn);
}
else
{
pprintf(prn, "Read data from %s OK\n", fileName);
print_smpl(dset, 0, prn);
varlist(dset, prn);
err = arma_estimate(dset, prn);
         }

destroy_dataset(dset);
gretl_print_destroy(prn);
libgretl_cleanup(); 
*/ 

It has been a really long question but i couldn't find a reason for this situation. How i can solve this problem ? 

Thanks,

  list = gretl_list_new(6);

Then as before, but add

  list[6] = <position of independent var>;
