Hi, I've just compiled the latest CVS following this procedure
(on Linux):
cd (root cvs directory)
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --enable-build-doc
make
su -c 'make install'
All went well, the program works fine, but I get this warning message in the
xterm window:
helpfile error: word='critical' not recognized
This happens using the C (us) locale; if I use the it locale, I get:
helpfile error: word='critical' not recognized
helpfile error: word='seed' not recognized
helpfile error: word='critical' not recognized
Is this some kind of bug, or I missed something in the compilation procedure
(maybe I should compile something in the /doc directory)?

I think this probably reflects under-documentation of the
procedure for building and installing the online help files
(somehow the installed files are not up to date).
Try cd'ing to the "share" subdirctory of your build tree, and do
make help
make install_help
If that doesn't do it, then I think you're right -- some component
of the help build is not getting triggered properly by the
Makefiles, and it may require going into doc/commands and doing
something manually.

Thanks, I ran those ones (I had to do it as root) and the error disappeared.

Well, maybe we could add some notes to the INSTALL file for people wanting to
compile the sources from CVS: e.g. this is the procedure I currently use:
# Update the CVS working copy
cd $GRETL_CVS_ROOT
cvs update
# (re)Create a build directory
rm -rf build ; mkdir build
# Configure, compile, install gretl
cd build
../configure --enable-build-doc
make
su -c 'make install'
# Compile and install help files
cd share
su -c 'make help && make install_help'
# Compile (Italian) documentation files
cd doc/tex_it
make gretl-guide-it.pdf
make gretl-ref-it.pdf

Good, glad to hear it.

Yes, good idea. I'll try to get to that.

I should add, since I don't have the lucida fonts, I wrote the following shell
script I find quite useful. Maybe others do as well:
#!/bin/sh
GRETLDIR=/home/jack/src/gretl
A=$(find $GRETLDIR/doc/ -name "*.tex" | xargs grep -l lucida)
for f in $A
do
cp $f /tmp/xxx
mv $f $f.orig
sed /tmp/xxx -e 's/lucidabr/mathtime/g' > $f
done
