If you're using a post-1.5.0 version of gretl, you probably need to turn
"coeff" into "$coeff" (new syntax).
I can confirm that one gets estimates with "coeff" corrected to
"$coeff" in current gretl.
One stylistic point is that you mau want to use
backslash-continuation for long lines:
nls ld_SGD= b0*ld_USD + b1*ld_EUR + b2*ld_JPY + b3*ld_TWD + \
b4*ld_INR + b5*ld_KRW+ b6*ld_IDR + b7*ld_AUD + \
(1-b0-b1-b2-b3-b4-b5-b6-b7)*ld_THB
Allin.
