Re: [Gretl-users] using "catch" with "include"

Hey all,
I am writing a package "A" which makes use of another external gretl
package "B". At some stage I need to load "B" via "include
B.gfn".
However, I would like to check first whether B.gfn is already installed
on the machine. If not I want to conduct the "install B.gfn" command.
The problem is that "catch include B.gfn" doesn't seem to work
currently. Is there any way to realize this?
Hi Artur,
sorry don't know the answer, but would it really be too much to ask the
user to install the necessary packages first? That's the same approach
in other programs -- for example in R if some external package is
missing you just get an error and have to install them yourself AFAIK.
cheers,
sven
