[Gretl-users] Re: Trying out Octave for the first time in Mac, and it is not working

I have downloaded both Octave 4.4.1 disk image & 5.2.0 source code. After installing 4.4.1, and linking gretl’s path to "Octave 4.4.1/⁨Contents⁩/MacOS/applet", I was not able to run the example from the gretl documentation in Chapter 41: ——————————————————————————— open data4-1 matrix m = { dataset } mwrite(m, "gretl.mat", 1) foreign language=Octave gmat = gretl_loadmat("gretl.mat") end foreign ————————————————————————— Once I run this, the Octave opens up with a command window, and nothing else is going on. The spinning wheal just keeps on spinning in gretl.
