That's now fixed in git; snapshots will follow tomorrow. So long as you
have a function-package browser window open, pointing at an ad hoc
directory, that is the first place that will be searched for a "include"
file.
Thanks, it's working nicely.
The next related problem is how to install or activate a function
package from an ad hoc place when the package comes in zipped form. That
is, I expand the zip archive to get a directory with a gfn and a gdt
file. If I tell gretl to look in the newly created directory then it
finds the package alright, but the "open ...gdt --from-pkg=..." option
fails, the gdt datafile next to the gfn file isn't recognized as part of
the package.
If, OTOH, I try to tell gretl to look in the next-level directory
(containing the new directory), then gretl doesn't seem to recognize the
new package at all.
Thanks,
sven
