I did several tests in gretl 1.8.4 under winXP and identified the problem I mentioned might be due to UTF-8 characters within the name of the graph. For example, if I run
"figure 2-3" <- gnuplot djclose --with-lines --time-series It works as normal. But if I run, instead, "figure 2-3XX" <- gnuplot djclose --with-lines --time-series (XX denotes a double-byte chinese character). Though it shows no error in the command Console. But when I double-click the icon in Icon Views, I got an error message "unspecified error" and a pop-up windows showed as following. Any clue about this error?
