It is a good program, but I can't import my data to Gretl.
Those functionalities come from .so files you should have on your computer
somewhere where gretl can find them. Excel import, for example, is handled
by a file called excel_import.so. Either you don't have those files, or
gretl can't find them.
Possibly, all you have to do is adjust the "Main gretl directory" setting
that you have under Tools>Preferences>General. Otherwise, some more info
is needed: which version of gretl are you running? How did you install it,
via a binary package or did you build from source?
