In fact, it is not a question of partition. I have
found the solution. The problem was with the the
directory in which the file was located. The directory
was called "bases de données". I changed it into
"bases de donnees" and it works perfectly. The problem
was with the character "é". It would be a good idea to
correct this in the next version of gretl
Further info: I have tested with gretl 1.5.0 on Linux, using the
locale en_US.ISO8859-1. I'm able to open files files in a directory
named "bases de données" OK.
I did discover one problem, however: when you open a CSV file, you
get an auxiliary window with a report on the reading of the file.
In the case of files located in "bases de données" this window came
up blank, with an error message on the console saying that the text
did not validate as utf8. That's because the filename was being
presented to GTK in the locale encoding. This is now fixed in CVS.
