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.
*I did these procedures but LC_ALL remains the same (blank).*
(...) 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.
*I did these procedures and the accented filenames had worked. But I'd
noticed that when I open gretl using the icon (with double click) it starts
the Portuguese version (from Portugal), while using the command line
"Applications/Gretl.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gretl" I get the
Brazilian-Portuguese version.
I also tryed to work with accented filenames using Windows XP and gretl
worked fine.
