Dear Developers,
Is it possible to enable Ox support on Mac OS/X?

Dear Allin,
By default, Ox is installed at:
/Applications/OxMetrics5/ox/bin/oxl

Thanks, Henrique. The current gretl snapshot for OS X on Intel,
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretl.dmg
has Ox support compiled in. To activate this support you have to
start gretl, go to the /Tools/Preferences/General dialog and
check the box "Enable Ox support", then re-start the program.
Then, under /Tools/Preferences/General/Programs you should find an
item, "Path to oxl executable". The default should be OK (because
I copied it from your posting above!), but if it's not, then
correct it.
Then you should be good to go.
Allin.

Allin,
I'd tested the following script (from "Gretl User’s Guide") and it worked
fine.
open data4-1
matrix m = { dataset }
mwrite(m, "(a)dotdir/gretl.mat")
foreign language=Ox
#include <oxstd.h>
main()
{
decl gmat = gretl_loadmat("gretl.mat");
}
end foreign
matrix gretl = mread("/Users/henrique/.gretl/gretl.mat")
Thank you very much!
Henrique

tell ox where dpd.h is? (because apparently it's not finding it in the

I believe OX5PATH is the variable to set. But I don't think that
should be necessary if ox packages are installed in the standard
location -- at any rate it's not necessary on Linux.

Developers,
I'd realized that I made an enormous mistake. The problem I'd reported
was caused by a very simple reason: I forgot to install DPD package on my
system. I'm sorry for that.
But a new problem had arisen. Please look at the output (beginning is
omitted):
(...)

#include <oxstd.h>
#import <packages/dpd/dpd>

Ox is not terribly clever with error messages. I guess what this
really means is that it couldn't read the input file, abdata.csv.
It's probably better to use an absolute path for this file.
That is, change these two lines in oxdpd.inp:
store abdata.csv ->
store @dotdir/abdata.csv
dpd.Load("abdata.csv"); ->
dpd.Load("(a)dotdir/abdata.csv");
In this same general area, I've noticed that the line in
gretl_io.ox for printing the size of a matrix,
fprint(fp, "%d %d", rows(X), columns(X));
does not work on all Ox versions. fprint() is not very clearly
documented, but this variant to be reliable:
fprint(fp, "%d ", rows(X), "%d", columns(X));
I've made this change in CVS.

I'd installed the new snapshot and now the script is working fine (without
changing the lines in oxdpd.inp).
Thanks a lot!
