I just noticed a difference between the output that you showed
from "locale" on the Mac, and the output I got: besides the fact
that you're using pt_BR and I'm using en_US, the LC_ALL value was
blank in your output while on the Mac I tried I got
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
I got this value after doing
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
in an X11 terminal window.
Therefore, it seems this experiment might be worth trying: in a
terminal window, do
export LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8
then try "locale" again and see if LC_ALL appears set. If so, try
starting gretl from the terminal, using the shell script named
"gretl" in Gretl.app/Contents/Resources/bin . Do accented
filenames then work? If so, the problem is associated with no
value being given to LC_ALL.
