(gretl from current cvs in kubuntu Linux with spanish language)
1-In a gretl console, writing "help command" (for example "help ols")
I obtain
an error box with the text "g_locale_to_utf8 failed for charset
'UTF-8'", I
click on "close" and gretl exits. If I execute gretl from a console, in this
situation an error is reported:
console text did not validate as utf8
Segmentation fault
Thanks for the report. I'll investigate these things tonight on
my home Ubuntu machine.
2- I cannot run gretl in english, "gretl --english" is not working for me. May
be a problem with my kubuntu installation?
3- I tried to build a dummy using the command in the "gretl command reference"
page 16:
(for example with data9-9)
genr d = (obs>1982:1)
but I obtained an error:
? genr dd=(obs>1982:1)
> genr dd=(obs>1982:1
Se esperaba ')' pero se encontró ':'
(gretl was waiting for a ')' but found ':')
I need to update the manual on that. If the reference observation
is given by date it has to be quoted:
genr dd=(obs>"1982:1")
Allin.
