Dear Gretl community,
I can't start R from Gretl (Menu -> Tools -> Start GNU R) on
my Mac (Snow Leopard). The command to launch is "xterm -e R". What's
wrong?

You tell us: try doing "xterm -e R" at a command prompt and see
what the error message is. My guess is that R is not in your
PATH.

Using OS X Terminal the command "xterm R" returns no error (X11 and R
initialize and work fine). Another way to have R working is through command:
"xterm /Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R". When I try to start R inside
Gretl nothing happens.

Do you really mean "xterm R" (without the "-e" flag)?

Using OS X Terminal the command "xterm R" returns no error (X11
and R initialize and work fine). Another way to have R working
is through command: "xterm
/Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R". When I try to start R
inside Gretl nothing happens.
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
This works on OS X 10.4.11. (Broken Mac setup: /usr/X11R6/bin is
not in the default path even after installing X11.)

I don't quite understand what is going on.
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.

I will try experimenting with the GUI variant. Up till now I've
treated OS X as any other *nix, on the assumption that both xterm
and R will be in the PATH and that one can launch the command-line
R program in an xterm using "xterm -e R".
Testing on OS X 10.4.11 I realized that this didn't work -- not
because R wasn't found, but because xterm was not found. Hence,
for the present I have made the default gretl "Rcommand" for OS X
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -e R

gretl gurus,
I have two series
group y
1 0.3
1 2.1
1 0.7
2 1.2
3 1.1
3 2.2
How can I create a new gretl object of averages of y in every group?
Many thanks,

Am I misunderstanding again, or isn't this the same question from last
month?

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)
In fact, this doesn't occur.

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.

For Mac OS X that would be /Users/<username>/.gretl/Rdata.tmp
The commands are in the file/Users/<username>/.gretl/Rsrc
When I open Rsrc file (inside/Users/<username>/.gretl/) I found these
commands:
# load data from gretl
gretldata <- read.table("/Users/henrique/.gretl/Rdata.tmp", header=TRUE)
gretldata <- ts(gretldata, start=c(1950, 1), frequency = 4)
I think the command is incomplete. The command "attach(gretldata)" is
missing. Am I right?
In fact, this doesn't occur.

I use it to build/test R packages; I have never known it to not work.
I'd installed through CRAN binaries (R-2.10.0.pkg).

No, "attach" doesn't work for ts() objects.
At the R prompt, type:
gretldata
It should be there.

Dear Allin, it worked fine. Thanks a lot!
