[Gretl-devel] Some small bugs

[Ignacio Diaz-Emparanza]

(gretl from current cvs in kubuntu Linux with spanish language)

1-In a gretl console, writing "help command" (for example "help ols") I obtain 
an error box with the text "g_locale_to_utf8 failed for charset 'UTF-8'", I 
click on "close" and gretl exits. If I execute gretl from a console, in this 
situation an error is reported: 

console text did not validate as utf8
Segmentation fault

2- I cannot run gretl in english, "gretl --english" is not working for me. May 
be a problem with my kubuntu installation?

3- I tried to build a dummy using the command in the "gretl command reference" 
page  16: 
(for example with data9-9)

genr d = (obs>1982:1)

but I obtained an error:

? genr dd=(obs>1982:1)
> genr dd=(obs>1982:1
Se esperaba ')' pero se encontró ':'

(gretl was waiting for a ')' but found ':')
