Bug#962713: please add support for x13as

The .exe path you're referring to is buried within an #if directive, and is only used when cross-compiling for windows. In fact, I just installed the debian x13as package and tried using that from within gretl instead of my home-baked x13as, and it works just fine. --- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucche...@univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti ---
Bug#909728: I found a workaround

Oh, thank you so much, that was driving me crazy. In fact, maybe the severity for this bug could be upgraded, since (a) seems to be related to bug #897251 (which was then apparently resolved via a workaround, but still...); the exact chain of events that triggers the message on stderr is very well laid out in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=897251#18 (b) it hits the "gretl" program quite badly: gretl uses gnuplot as its graphical engine, and throws an error if gnuplot throws something on stderr (which is what happens if you have an empty /usr/local/share/fonts dir). --- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucche...@univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti ---

Bug#518870: gretl needs a more recent version of gnuplot than 4.0.0-5 (4.2.4-4 works)
On Sun, 8 Mar 2009, Dirk Eddelbuettel wrote: Allin, would you know anything about this? Looking at INSTALL and configure.ac suggests that gretl only want gnuplot but not a particular version. A quick glance at http://packages.debian.org/gnuplot that one must try really hard to get an older gnuplot. Also, strictly speaking, gnuplot is just a Recommends: I can't quite convince myself whether this is a user error of upgrading parts of the system but not others. In any case, I'll put a simple versioned Depends of the type gnuplot (= 4.2) into the metadata for Debian's gretl to precent use with version 4.0. Thanks, Dirk I think we need not only to upgrade the dependency to 4.2, but also to strengthen it to needs. Gretl's reliance on gnuplot has grown considerably through time.
