In an earlier message you reported that your LANG setting was
es_ES.UTF-8. In current CVS gretl, when the "locale decimal
separator" is selected, at the startup of the program you should
see (on stderr, e.g. when started from a terminal), something like
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "es_ES.UTF-8") returned es_ES.UTF-8
That is, gretl reads the LANG setting from the environment and
issues the instruction to set LC_NUMERIC to the same value.
If you see this, but are not getting the decimal comma, then I
think it is a broken locale setting on Kubuntu to blame. In which
case you could try
sudo localedef -i es_ES -f UTF-8 es_ES.UTF-8

Well, I see
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "es_ES.UTF-8") returned es_ES.UTF-8
but don't get the decimal comma.
I tried to use the command "localedef" as you suggested but all is the same.
In other applications as openoffice-calc or kcalc I am getting the decimal
comma without any problem.
