I have a problem when I try to install gretl on Ubuntu 7.10.
I´ve tried both the binaries and from source. Apparently I do
success with the binaries since gretl´s icon shows up on
Applications, but when i click on it, nothing happens.
What packages are you using? The ones from
http://packages.debian.org/gretl or ...?
To troubleshoot the program, open a Terminal window and type
gretl <Enter>
You should presumably see some sort of error message.
If you want to try building from source, I guess you'd have to
uninstall the gretl binary package first.
One more question: is there any way to generate a new variable
which is the rank of an already existing one (so that biggest
value on the existing variable gets 1, second biggest 2, and so
on...).
I think what you want is
genr y = ranking(x)
