Thanks.
Second I'am using the current version of Gretl (downloaded
12-1-2012)
and R version 2.14.0. All about Windows XP. Trying to call R from the
GUI (R-Console) comes an error message "Failed external instruction"
(Translated from Spanish version).
When I used Gretl 1.9.6 and R.2.13.0 there was not error message doing this.
What could be the problem?
I've just tried the current gretl snapshot with R 2.14.0 and
2.14.1 on Windows 7, and R started OK. One thing is that you
need to let R write version information to the Windows
registry or gretl can't find it.
You can perhaps get more information on the problem by
starting gretlw32.exe with the --debug option. This opens a
console window displaying any information that's written to
stderr.
