Hi all,
Gretl compiled from cvs started saying "no help available" after
choosing the help icon in various windows. The console output is as
follows:
GError details from g_file_get_contents
message: 'Failed to open file '/opt/gretl/share/gretl/gretlcmd.hlp':
No such file or directory'
domain = 1586, code = 4
Any ideas why this can happen and how it can be fixed?
Cheers
Talha

The files in the doc/commands directory were not getting fully
updated after certain source files were changed. This should
now be fixed in current CVS; applying the fix requires that
you re-run the configure script.
A manual workaround is to do "make clean" in doc/commands, and
to remove (if they are present) the files *.hlp, hlp.stamp and
gen.stamp in the "share" directory of the gretl source. Then
rebuilding should generate up-to-date help files.

Thanks very much for the fix Professor Cottrell,
After updating, I did a make clean, configure, and make install,
however, I still get the same error.
I get this after importing an ods and then selecting help in the
expand data window.
Sincerely
Talha

On a first-time rebuild you'll probably have to do what I said
below. If that doesn't work, check the output from "make"
carefully; maybe some missing dependency is preventing the
help files from being generated.

Couldn't do it. Doing "make clean" in doc/commands results in an error
about no rule for compiling.
However, during recompiling gretl, I see the below messages. Can this
indicate a missing component?

Are you passing the flag --enable-build-doc to configure? This
is needed if you want to generate the help files; it requires
the xslt library.
However, during recompiling gretl, I see the below messages. Can
this
indicate a missing component?
...
../lib/src/dataio.c:3144:11: warning: ignoring return value of
'strtod', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
[and so on]
No, such message can safely be ignored.
