Re: [Gretl-devel] Running more than one version of gretl
This is a follow-up to Logan Kelly's question at
http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-devel/2014-July/005194.html . While
installing and running more than one version of gretl on a given machine is
not something we'd generally expect people to do, it's possible if you take
some care, and I thought it might be useful to spell out what's what.
The specific case Logan mentioned has the last gretl release (1.9.90) installed
alongside a snapshot. To get this working you could first install today's
snapshot, then either use regedit to change the gretldir registry entry to
point back to the gretl 1.9.90 installation, or re-install 1.9.90 to overwrite the
registry. Then 1.9.90 will use the registry entry, and the snapshot will (or
should) ignore the registry and find its own path.
Some testing of this would be nice!
OK so I have both the snapshot and the 1.9.90 installed. Installed the snapshot first.
I have two scripts A and B. A works in 1.9.90 but not the snapshot (gnuplot 5rc thing) and
B works in snapshot but not in 1.9.90 (new feature thing). Both A and B run and fail as
expected. Hurray!
Will this be a new feature for the next release or will it be strictly for the snapshot?
Thanks,
Logan
