How exactly are you running the script? I tried a few ways but each

Ok it took me a little while to investigate, although it had repeatedly
happened to me in "real life"... The reason is that a function error is
necessary to trigger it -- something quite frequent with my poor
programming skills :-) So my previous report wasn't quite correct,
because there the function was fine and would never cause an error.
To replicate:
1. start gretl
2. open an arbitrary dataset
3. run a script with the following function:
function example(void)
print hu
end function
(note the syntax error)
4. package the function
5. execute the newly created function package => error (on the command
line it says "exiting on expr() error")
6. try to make a new function package...
... and you should see two 'example' entries in the function list.
HTH,
