Problem with convergence of ARMA and GARCH models

                                        I am a new user to Gretl, and am using version 1.2.9.  I have noticed
that frequently when I attempt to run an ARMA or GARCH model I get a
message "Convergence Criteria not met".  I know what this means, but it
seems to happen frequently with data sets that do not experience this
problem when I use them in "R" or other packages.  Is this a known
problem, or is there some parameter I need to adjust to make this go
away?

                                        Allin,
I have been building some examples about heteroskedasticity data with gretl.
I had two variables whose linear relationship had hetero. and so I regressed
y on x using 1/sqrt(x) as weigths. Then, I suspected that the residuals were 
heteroskedastic yet, so I tried to do some testing on them. 
Firstly, I cannot do a LM test on the WLS regression (¿Why not? umm I have to 
think a while about it ...  I know that the regressor now is xt*wt, and so 
the test may have a different interpretation, but ... may have any sense in 
this case, ¿or not?).
Secondly, as I did not have the test, I saved the WLS residuals an regressed 
them over a constant (by OLS), so I had a window model, and the 
heteroskedasticity test was active in the corresponding menu. I selected this 
and ... gretl exited!!, and  saving anything. In fact I have seen that 
regressing any variable over a constant, the same occurs. I understand that 
the Hetero. test runs a regression of the residuals over the regressors and 
their squares, and so in this case there were no regressors, but I think 
Gretl should act in another form. For example in this case gretl may ask for 
a variable, or use the index ...

There seems to be some problem with my inscription on this list, since i
could send this message yesterday but did not receive the answer. I
looked at the archives to find out I had this answer; so sorry for
writing back so late.
So if someone care to answer this post, please include my address as Gcc

These are fortran-related references that are undefined.  Somehow 
you're missing a link to libf2c (and probably lapack too).  Can you 
take a look at your config.log, and see what it says after "checking 
for LAPACK"?  You could also look for the line starting 
"LAPACK_LIBS =" in the Makefile in the lib directory, and see what 
it says.
Well, what I did with LAPACK_LIBS is I had to define it for the
./configure to happen, it was apparently no where expected:
"LAPACK_LIBS =/usr/lib/liblapack.a ./configure", and then configure
happened all right.
Maybe I should say the same for make?
Thank for any hint,
