On my Ubuntu machine using gretl developer version a couple of days old,
the following script works fine:
<hansl>
include yahoo_get.gfn
nulldata 1000
setobs 7 2000-01-01 --time-series
series msft = yahoo_price("MSFT", 1)
</hansl>
I just tried a similar experiment on a Win10 PC and all was fine.
Cristián, are you using the latest version of the package (3.5)? There
was an issue with decimal separators, but it was fixed with version 3.2.
