lapack/gretl on 64 sabayon/gentoo
by Helgi Tomasson
To gretl-users
I have been a devoted user of GRETL for many years now and I consider it
the best econometric software for teaching. I have been teaching
econometrics for 18 years and tried a lot of software.
I have recently compiled an GRETL-1.7.1 (and 1.7.0) on sabayon-linux-64
verson 3.4e (a gentoo type linux). The processor is Intel(R) Core(TM)2
CPU 6420. This is done by the command:
emerge gretl
Things seems to compile correctly but gretl does not install and I get
the message:
--------------------------- ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY
---------------------------
LOG FILE = "/var/log/sandbox/sandbox-31389.log"
unlink: /usr/share/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs/gretl.lang
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, if I turn sandbox of:
FEATURES="-sandbox"emerge gretl
the program compiles and installs. I don't understand the error
messages. The program runs mostly fine but when I try to do Johansen
cointegration test the program crashes and I get:
gretl_matrix: workspace query failed
gretl_matrix: workspace query failed
gretl_matrix: workspace query failed
Segmentation fault
I have also tried to install gretl by configure, make and make install
but the result is the same. Johansen cointegration test generates an
error. I looked at the source of gretl_matrix.c and it seems to have
something to do with how the lapack matrix routines are called. Should
the lapack be compiled in particulary way?
I have done the same on a laptop with core-duo running debian-32 and
that one does not crash on the Johansen-test.
A possible lapack routine can be one of the following, dsytrf, dgeev_,
dsyev_. dgesvd_, dgelss_.
Is there something in gretl_matrix.c that needs changing? How can I
download the CVS-version if there is a new version with a modified
gretl_matrix.c there?
best regards

Instalation on Ubuntu 7.10/8.04
by Daniel Arribas
Hi there!
First of all thank you very much for your replies about my query to install
gretl on Ubuntu 7.10. However, though I've tried last week to get it
installed, I haven't been able and, since I'm already running gretl on Mac
OSX, i guess this has taken me too long without any step further. So here's
my question: *will there be a binary to easily install gretl on Ubuntu 8.04*,
which is to come next april? If so, i'd drop my efforts to run it from
source and would wait for the next version of Ubuntu. Otherwise... i don't
know yet :)
Thanks a lot again, and I hope answering this is not too big a nuisance for
you. Best regards from Spain,
d/

Installing gretl without administrator rights
by andreas.rosenblad＠ltv.se
On my work I am using gretl on a computer with Windows XP, where I do not
have full administrator rights, only power user rights (I can install
software in C:/Program but not in other folders). I can install the stable
version 1.7.1, but when I try to install the latest Windows snapshot I got
the errror message: "You must be logged in as an administrator when
installing this program."
Something must have been changed since version 1.7.1 that influences the
way gretl is installed on Windows regarding adiministrator rights. Would it
be possible to change this back so that I can install the Windows
snapshots?
Best regards

boost variable
by Nieves Sánchez Martínez
Hello,I'm working with Gretl and I'm trying to introduce 'boost (impulso) variable' as a dependent variable in my ARIMA model but I'm not sure about the inputs that Arima function needs. I'm transforming my series by adding regular and seasonal differences. I have only a model with a constant but I see in residual plot against time an 'outlier' in t0. What input Gretl need to estimate w0 'boost (impulso) variable' coeficient? Could be an all-zero vector except for a 1 in t = t0 (called I)? Or could be sd_d_I? Thanks a lot!

Actually, he has to use
genr y = ranking(-x)
since ranking() give ranks from lowest to highest, and Daniel wants ranks
from highest to lowest.

How to turn off info bubble
by Tom La Bone
On the bottom of page 46 in the Gretl manual the following footnote appears:
For best results when pasting graphs into MS Office applications, choose the
application's "Edit, Paste Special..." menu item, and select the option
"Picture (Enhanced Metafile)".
This advice is repeated in an information bubble every time I copy a graph
to the clipboard and I have to acknowledge the info bubble (press OK) every
time. Is it possible to turn this feature off, i.e., not be informed of this
information every time I copy a graph?
