Many thanks for your reponse, I try install Gretl 1.7.4 from Tar files, but I'll
find many errors, then I convert rpm files to *.deb files using alien command,
but I think that installation isn't complete, but I don't find directory plugin
in usr/share/gretl where find excel_import.so I'll try again install from tar files.
The debian packages should work, just follow the link on the main page
and pick your 1.7.4 deb package for installation.

Those functionalities come from .so files you should have on your computer
somewhere where gretl can find them. Excel import, for example, is handled
by a file called excel_import.so. Either you don't have those files, or
gretl can't find them.
Possibly, all you have to do is adjust the "Main gretl directory" setting
that you have under Tools>Preferences>General. Otherwise, some more info
is needed: which version of gretl are you running? How did you install it,
via a binary package or did you build from source?

Converting from rpm to deb may work sometimes, but is not ideal. You may
want to try the 1.7.4 version in Debian unstable (Debian packages have
much better chances to work out of the box on Ubuntu). The best thing,
however, is always building from the source. What kind of errors do you
get? I regularly build gretl on my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop with no problem.
Maybe you need to install some packages.
