[Gretl-users] windows gnuplot

Folks, a PhD student here just reported the most bizarre problem: if you try this <hansl> nulldata 20 setobs 5 1960-01-01 x = normal() gnuplot 2 --time-series --output=display </hansl> on linux, everything is fine. On windows 8.1, gnuplot barfs out an error. However, if you change the starting date to 1970-01-01, everything is ok. (This is gretl 2018a with gnuplot 5.2 patchlevel 4) I have an idea on what may be wrong here, but I'd like people who use windows to confirm if they see the bug too. ------------------------------------------------------- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti -------------------------------------------------------
