Re: [Gretl-users] Cointegration test menu not visible in gretl in Ubuntu

It's strange, cause I run gretl 1.9.5 on Ubuntu 11.04 and I see the options in the menu. I had also your problems. The package in the repository is faulty and I downloaded and installed the latest version from the repository of Debian testing: http://packages.debian.org/source/testing/gretl Try the following: - open Synaptic, search for gretl in the list and remove completely all the deb packages related with it; - download and reinstall the debian packages By the way, for some features related with time series you need to install also the following packages: - x12a_0.2.10-2_i386.deb - tramo-seats_98-2_i386.deb You find them here: http://gretl.sourceforge.net/index.html See you Giuseppe On Thu, 2011-09-29 at 13:26 +0200, maurizio spadaccino wrote: > Hi, I am quite new to Ubuntu so I apologize for any kind of dumb > questions I might ask in this post.
