Hi, here's what I did: - look on package server to install 'BreitungCandelonTest' -- ok - afterwards (after executing that first package) create a totally unrelated new package and save it in a non-default location - then navigate with the local function package management window to the directory where I just saved the new package (formally: to look for other packages locally) - then in the package management window those additional local packages are visible, but nothing can be done, gretl is frozen (have to kill it) I suspect it's because in the local directory there is a copy (exact or not I'm not sure right now) of the package 'BreitungCandelonTest' which was installed from the server before. Seems like the two versions clash. (Just speculating, though.) thanks, sven
