Re: [Gretl-users] Changing the link to the R folder when compiling gretl

Thank you, Helio. I guess I need to clean up stuff and try everything from scratch again. But let me ask you a last question: Do you use a Debian system by yourself (maybe ubuntu) as well as the pre-compiled R version which comes with the official reps? If this is the case, does the script below (from the manual) run on your machine? In the manual it is said that on a linux machine one needs to compile R manually using the --enable-R-shlib option; that's why I am asking. <gretl> set R_functions on foreign language=R plus_one <- function(q) { z = q+1 invisible(z) } end foreign scalar b=R.plus_one(2) </gretl> Artur On 16.09.2017 19:57, Hélio Guilherme wrote: I don't know. Using normal install of R runs fine, and I do not have defined R_HOME. If you did not install R, do the export R_HOME=/usr/local/lib/R Or start gretl like: R_HOME=/usr/local/lib/R gretl *My Favorite Open Source Projects awsome-lists <https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome> gretl <http://gretl.sourceforge.net/> meld <http://meldmerge.org/> robotframework <http://robotframework.org/> wxPython <https://wxpython.org/> *( *sponsored/patrocinado*) Recomendo servidores e alojamento Web em: http://www.proalojamento.com/clientes/aff.php?aff=258 On Sat, Sep 16, 2017 at 6:14 PM, Artur T. <artur.tarassow(a)googlemail.com&gt; wrote: > Hi Helio, thank for your reply and the suggestion.
