In gretl, try going to /Tools/Preferences/General, and the
Programs tab, and change the "Command to launch GNU R" to:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -e R
Ok, it worked just fine. But according to Gretl User's Guide (p. 217), assuming R was
launched successfully, you will notice that two commands have been executed
automatically:
gretldata <- read.table("/home/username/.gretl/Rdata.tmp", header=TRUE)
attach(gretldata)
attach(gretldata)
For Mac OS X that would be /Users/<username>/.gretl/Rdata.tmp
The commands are in the file/Users/<username>/.gretl/Rsrc
In fact, this doesn't occur.

I don't quite understand what is going on.
I can't start R from Gretl (Menu -> Tools -> Start GNU R) on my Mac (Snow
Leopard).
In the Terminal what is the output of: "which R" (Leave out the quotes!)
Why use xterm in "Command to launch GNU R"
There are two options for the command:
1: /usr/bin/R
2. /Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R
The first starts the command line version R and the second starts the R Gui.
The first option doesn't work (nothing happens), but the second option does.
How have you installed R?
AFAIK /usr/bin/R should be there. It is a link to /Library/Frameworks/R/.......
I use it to build/test R packages; I have never known it to not work.
