Hi all,
when trying to replicate the issue Sven faced in another thread. I came
across the issue that currently the shipped addons are not built and
installed in fedora.
I am using the gretl spec file, which can be found at [1].
I tried adding
%configure --disable-static \
--disable-avx \
--with-mpi \
--with-dbnomics \
--with-extra \
--with-geoplot \
--with-gig \
--with-ivpanel \
--with-SVAR
the addons to the configure command, but no luck. Could you please tell
me how to build and install these addons?
Thanks
Johannes

Johannes, the addons get built if you pass --enable-build-addons.
I should explain: we didn't make that the default because the build
requires quite a full TeX setup. The idea is that if the addons are
not included in a gretl package for Linux, they should get downloaded
from sourceforge on demand.

Ok, but then something else might be broken, because I
couldn't install
the dbnomics function package from gretl.
When accessing File - Databases - DB.NOMICS I get the error message in
the terminal:
load function package: failed on
/usr/share/gretl/functions/dbnomics/dbnomics.gfn
But I couldn't install the dbnomics function package from File -
Function package - On server, because it's not present in the list.
Not sure what's missing or wrong here, but that's why I thought I should
compile them for installing them from the beginning.

When accessing File - Databases - DB.NOMICS I get the error message in the
terminal:
load function package: failed on
/usr/share/gretl/functions/dbnomics/dbnomics.gfn
OK, we need to investigate that -- accessing that menu item ought to
cause gretl to download the dbnomics addon from sourceforge, if it's
not already installed.
But I couldn't install the dbnomics function package from File -
Function package - On server, because it's not present in the
list.
That's expected, because dbnomics isn't a contributed package, it's
an "official" addon. Could you see what happens if you try under
/Help/Check for addons ? (Though that shouldn't be necessary.)
Not sure what's missing or wrong here, but that's why I
thought I should
compile them for installing them from the beginning.
If TeX isn't a blocker, that would be good. But we need to see
what's going wrong with the other pathway (when the addons are not
buit into the gretl-for-Linux package).

It seems to me this is a frequent cause of confusion. Especially since
addons _are_ listed among the local packages. Maybe the "packages on
server" window could include some additional hint like "except addons"
or "non-addons only" or something like that.

OK, we need to investigate that -- accessing that menu item ought to cause
gretl to download the dbnomics addon from sourceforge, if it's not already
installed.
I found a flaw, specific to dbnomics and regls, with the effect that
the auto-download mechanism for these addon packages would fail to
kick in. That's fixed in current snapshots and should be OK in the
2022a release, due out before the end of January.
However, if it's possible to include the addons in the fedora gretl
package, that would no doubt be safer.

Hello Allin,
I just built the package yesterday and it seems that it's not fixed in
all cases. At the moment, although the dbnomics add-on is installed. I
get the following error, when trying to browse the dbnomics time series
database.
"Error message from dbnomics_providers(): no providers were found"
This window I can only close and the dbnomics browser does not open.
Thanks for any hint.
Johannes

There seems to be a problem with db.nomics itself: opening
https://db.nomics.world/ with a browser gives you a similar error. This
has been going on since at least yesterday.

There seems to be a problem with db.nomics itself: opening
https://db.nomics.world/ with a browser gives you a similar error. This has
been going on since at least yesterday.
I managed to get a listing of providers just now, but dbnomics
access has been flaky lately. I thought I'd go to their forum to see
if the problem has been discussed, but now the forum won't load:
https://dbnomics.discourse.group/ gives me a blank page.

Thank you, this
worked flawlessly and I could see all the available
addons and was able to install dbnomics. Afterwards, I could of course
also browse the dbnomics database.
I will check how big of an issue the inclusion of them would be, when
building gretl.
