Re: [Gretl-devel] Communication with R
I've just tested on Windows 10 with R 3.4.3 and current gretl snapshot and all
is working OK here.
There are a few changes in today's snapshot that might make a difference.
One change that's relevant for testing is that the --debug option for
gretl.exe, which somehow got disabled lately, is now restored. So if the
above methods are not working for you, please try running gretl with --
debug and see what's coming out on stderr; there should be some chatter
about initializing R.

Ok, my "R_HOME" environment variable wasn't set. After doing that and
restarting gretl, everything works fine.
However, in the process of sorting this out I tried starting an interactive session from
Tools\Start GNU R. With the default program settings, gretl had the path to "Launch
GNU R" as c:\users\...blah blah...\R\ \R-3.4.2\bin\x64\Rscript.exe, which didn't
work. I got a brief "flash" of a command window but that was it. Changing
Rscript.exe to R.exe resolved this. That is, the interactive session worked fine. I
don't know if this is a problem/bug or not, but thought it'd be useful to mention
it.
Thanks, Allin!
