Hi,
I just tried to compile a fresh cvs checkout and got the following error:
gcc -c -I.. -I../lib/src -I/usr/include/libxml2 mklang.c
../libtool --mode=link gcc -o mklang mklang.o ../lib/libgretl-1.0.la
-lxml2
libtool: link: gcc -o .libs/mklang mklang.o
../lib/.libs/libgretl-1.0.so -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -llapack -lblas
-lgfortran -ldl -lz /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so /usr/lib/libgmp.so
/usr/lib/libfftw3.so -lm /usr/lib/libxml2.so
./mklang --lang2 > gretl.lang.2
/bin/sh: cannot create gretl.lang.2: Permission denied
I hope this is unrelated to the updated de.po that I committed just
before starting to compile...
any hints?
thanks,
sven

No, I'm pretty sure it's not related.
any hints?
ls -l /path-to-build/gui2/gretl.lang.2
ls -ld /path-to-build/gui2
gretl.lang.2 is a generated file, not in CVS; somehow it seems you
don't have permission to write to it.

turns out I had an old incarnation of that file lying around which for
some reason was owned by root, but 'make clean' still hadn't complained.
It worked well now, thanks.
but one unrelated thing I've just noticed: GMM now appears twice, in the
model menu and in the intrumental variables submenu.
cheers,

Yes, that's right. The instance under "Instrumental variables"
gives you "automatic" GMM when you specify a model as you would
for TSLS (LIML is also an option for such models). The other GMM
entry gives you a dialog in which you specify a model in full
generality. In scripting terms it's "tsls --gmm" versus "gmm".

hmm, I see, but I've just read the documentation for tsls and my first
impression is that the naming now is a little awkward. For example,
tsls --gmm --two-step
looks funny (read it aloud: two-stage ... two-step). Apart from that,
it's not optimal that when options are provided to tsls it's not tsls
anymore -- quoting from the doc: "the results will differ [from TSLS] in
general"
I haven't thought this through, but what about renaming 'tsls' to
something like 'iv' then and retaining 'tsls' as an alias for 'iv'
(w/o
further options) for a while?
Also I still find it a little confusing to have 'GMM' appear twice in
the menus, I would prefer to have some meaningful qualifier. AFAICS in
the IV submenu it's all about linear specifications, right? So maybe
call it 'linear GMM' or something like that.
these are not definite proposals, just to get the discussion started...
thanks,
sven

My 2 cents also go to not having 2 GUI items with the same name. These
are considered by many as counter productive wheather or not they are
doing the same thing.
