Suppose for instance that I want to see the results of an OLS
regression as TeX output (the problem surfaces no matter what
procedure I run). After running the regression I choose the
LaTeX drop-down menu and select View -> Tabular. I get an error
box that says it "Failed to process TeX file". On closing that
error a log becomes visible, saying at the beginning --

The default preamble definitely includes \begin{document} (and
works). I think gretl must be picking up a broken gretlpre.tex
from somewhere on your system. In the current snapshots (see
http://gretl.sourceforge.net/osx.html ) I have put a print to
stderr to track this. E.g on my system I see:
gretltex: using preamble file
/home/cottrell/gretl/gretlpre.tex
when I view a model. If you launch gretl from a terminal window
you should see what's happening, I hope.
