The R function "MINE" is defined in MINE.r, so you'll have to 
source() that file, or copy the required functions into an R file of 
your own.

On a quick experiment, it appears that the R/java stuff doesn't work 
if gretl calls R via its shared library (on Linux at any rate). I 
found it necessary to do

  set R_lib off

in my gretl script before the "foreign" block that calls for the 
MINE analysis.
