Re: [Gretl-users] Error message with SVAR

Here's what I think is happening: when gretl saves your session,
it
saves all the functions that were active at the time, including any
functions supplied by SVAR, in a sort of "pseudo-package" named
functions.xml.
I think this should probably be considered a bug, and we'll think
about
how best to fix it,
I'd actually go so far as to say that saving the functions to a session
file in the first place is already a mistake. In 2012 you (Allin) said
on this list: "Mixing the use of session files with scripting is not
something we'd want to encourage."
It has been explained (to me and others) that the session concept is a
GUI thing. I don't see why contributed functions need to be saved in
there. I would just end this practice, and the problem of this thread
would not appear. Or what am I missing?
