Dear developers,
I am happy to announce that I am successfully managing the gretl
project on OpenSuSE Build Service (OBS).
Now, users of OpenSuSE 11.2 (current version) can easily install gretl.
The main search page is here: http://software.opensuse.org/search. You
will find roadruner:gretl (it's me :).
If any of you wish to help me, just say so :).
The OBS is a system to build software packages for Linux systems and
different processor architectures. I am having some difficulties in
setting up the package to Debian, Ubunto, and OpeSuSE 11.2 x86_64. The
latter is, I suspect, due to the configure script ignoring --libexec
definition.
I did not had the chance to test the installation because I am with
x86_64. I am assuming the original installation script, and I did not
make a customized gretl.desktop file.
I hope you like this concept for gretl packaging.
Thanks,
Hélio Guilherme

This is great! I think it deserves a link on Gretl's homepage.

Certainly! I've now added one.

Dear Allin, what about use a permanent link instead of enter "gretl" in the
search box? Something like this:
http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=openSUSE%3A11.2&p=1&a...
But this is just a suggestion, ok? ;)
Best,

Yes, that's better. Done.

New subject: mread bug?
I was trying to respond to the question "How to read a matrix from a
text file" in the gretl wiki. I remembered the command "mread" so,
having the matrix {1, 2; 3, 4} saved in file Bm.mat in my gretl working
directory I wrote the script:
<script>
nulldata 50
B = mread("Bm.mat")
B
</script>
I was surprised obtaining the output "B: matrix is NULL" (BTW this
string should be marked for translation). Then I looked at this more
carefully and finally I deduced that "mread" does not work until
"mwrite" has been used !! Although you use mwrite with another totally
different matrix. The first time you run the following script you will
obtain a null B matrix at the first execution of 'mread' but a correctly
read matrix at the second stage:
<script>
nulldata 50
B = mread("Bm.mat")
B
A = {1, 0; 0, -1}
A
err=mwrite(A, "Am.dat")
B = mread("Bm.mat")
B
</script>
Running this script with grettl from current CVS I obtain the output:
gretl versión 1.8.7cvs
Sesión actual: 2010-01-28 10:32
? nulldata 50
periodicidad: 1, máx.obs: 50,

Yes. Gretl in Spanish downloaded from current CVS on Ubuntu Linux 9.10

I'm able to reproduce the problem in the case where the gretl
working directory is pre-set to a specific location that is not
the same as the shell's current directory, and the matrix file to
be read is in that pre-set directory.
It seems that doing an "mwrite" causes gretl to "chdir" to the
pre-set working directory, after which the original matrix file
is found. I should have a fix for this shortly.

I confirm this.
I feel my English is so poor that I have no words to stress enough your
efficiency as a "bug-fixer".

Thanks, Ignacio -- I get the idea!
