Hi everyone,
I have the following problem.
If I create a New R Script in Gretl, I'm able to run it using the
Interactive Mode, this is, R GUI opens successfully and does the
intended computation. But when try to run the same script using the
non-interactive mode, it pops an error message saying: "the system
can't find the specified path".
Considerations:
1) I'm running Gretl 1.9.1 and R 2.11.1 under Windows XP (but I had
the same problem on Windows Vista at home). This is the first time
I've tried Gretl, thus never had case where it worked, to compare.
2) This is the script I tried:
a <- 4
a
3) I checked the Tools -> Preferences -> General -> Programs and the
locations of Rgui.exe (which I guess matters for the interactive mode)
and R.dll (ditto for non-interactive mode, right??) both locations
are correctly specified. Just in case I clicked on Browse, find each
file and double clicked on them and pressed Apply.
This may be a well-known problem, but my search on gretl-users list
didn´t turned any hits for this issue.
thanks in advance,
Ricardo

Sorry for the delay in responding. I'll have to try this out on
Windows and see if I can find what the issue is. (I checked on
Linux and didn't find a problem with non-interactive mode.)

OK, just tried on Windows and I see what you mean. I had an older
version of R installed (2.9.1) and that worked fine executing a
script from gretl non-interactively. Then I updated to R 2.11.1
and saw exactly what you saw, "the system can't find the specified
path". There has evidently been some backward-incompatible change
in the default R installation; I'll try to track it down.

I think this [running an R script from gretl's script editor
non-interactively on Windows] should now work OK. Just in case it
doesn't I've arranged for a relatively verbose error message to be
printed to stderr: you can see that by starting gretlw32.exe with
the --debug flag.
This is in CVS and the current Windows snapshot.

Excellent, I'll check it out in a few hours
