Interestingly, it produces graph for the file attached below (Ass_2014_s1.gdt) but the second file (tuna_ass_2014s1.gretl) it won’t produce any types of graph. for example I try produce a scatter plot for variables SB1 and PB1 but it shows the error message with black colour screen.Any advise on this. i highly appreciate it. Thanks for posting the sample files. Now I can see what the problem is, and it's specific to opening gretl session files (with suffix .gretl) as opposed to data files (suffix .gdt). The act of opening a session file is changing the "present working directory" from gretl's point of view, with the side effect that the loader for PNG files is no longer found. We'll make sure this is fixed in the next snapshot (and the next release) but in the meantime here's a workaround. Is gretl installed in the usual location of /Applications? If so, you can take the file loaders.cache that I'm attaching to this message and put it in the folder /Applications/Gretl.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/ In a terminal window on the Mac you would do cp loaders.cache \ /Applications/Gretl.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/ If you get "permission denied" when trying this then you'll have to do it as administrator: prefix the command above with "sudo", as in sudo cp ... If Gretl.app is not under /Applications, tell me where it is and I can send you a suitable version of loaders.cache.
