What's
wrong? Does gretl doesn't accept signs?
I'm not certain that the "locale" program is available on OS
X, but can you try typing "locale" in a terminal window and
see what it says. Here, for example,
waverley:~$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
(etc.)
I suspect gretl is trying to write the filename encoded as
UTF-8 and that is not being accepted by the operating
system.
