in order to perform a cluster analysis I tried the R connection with

gretl does send the data set, however when running

I just tried gretl + R-2.15.2 on Windows 7. It looks as if
something relevant has changed in the R setup since version 2.14.
I can now confirm this (and from googling, we're not the only ones
who are having problems). (This is a Windows-specific problem.)

R version 2.15 breaks certain kinds of third party usage of the R
shared library. Apparently it's necessary to tell R where to find
its own bits and pieces at an earlier stage of the proceedings than
with R 2.14. I'll work on it. In the meantime the workaround is to
add the path to the directory containing Rlapack.dll into the PATH
environment variable. In a standard R installation this is likely to
be (for R 2.15.2):

C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.2\bin\i386
Hi  Allin,

I found the environment variables, but there is no 'R' entry at all.
No, there wouldn't be, unless you add it.

Anyway, I have made some changes in today's Windows snapshot, 
tested with R 2.15.2 on Windows 7, and it's now working 
without the need to add an R entry to PATH manually.
It's working now, thanks Allin!

Well, actually on my main PC the error 'no object' is still present, and I have no idea why.
I gonna try the debug flag...
