cURL error
by Artur T.
Hi all,
a student of mine has reported an error when trying to install a package
from the gretl server yesterday evening. Initially I thought he has a
problem with a certificate on his WIndows machine because he got the
error code 60.
However, just trying it on my Ubuntu machine returns:
cURL error 28 (Connection timed out after 20002 milliseconds)
Terminated on error
Trying to click through the GUI to the packages in the server, returns:
cURL error 6 (Could not resolve host: gretl.sourceforge.net)
The gretl package site works, however, and also downloading a gfn file
is possible:
https://gretl.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/gretldata.cgi?opt=SHOW_FUNCS
Best
Artur
