Thank you very much for the answer. I'm using Windows 10 and I
installed Gretl using the installer .exe. I managed to download the
datafiles for Stock-Watson book directly form the Gretl page and then
opened them successfully. I also managed to do some regression
exercises during the lectures. I also manage to open datafiles that
don't need to be downloaded. The only PDF help file that I manage to
open without any problem is "gretl + DB.NOMICS". When I try to open a
PDF help file offline an error message pops up: cURL error 6
(Couldn't resolve host name). Also when offline "gretl + DB.NOMICS"
is the only file that I can successfully open. I'm not sure about any
non-ASCII characters in my Windows user name nor the language I'm
running Gretl in.
OK thanks. The cURL error would be expected when offline. About the
language: What's the left-most menu called? Previously you mentioned the
menu path "File...", so if you're seeing that in English, you're
running
it in English.
In a gretl console (or as a one-liner script), what does "eval $dotdir"
give as output?
Are you accessing the internet through a proxy server?
I'm just collecting all sorts of context information, I don't have a
particular suspicion what might cause this, sorry.
cheers
