[Gretl-users] Bug report for gretl's interaction with R

[andreas.karlsson at ltv.se]

Hi,

I am using gretl on Windows XP. I have found a bug in gretl regarding
gretl's interaction with R:

When I have installed both R and gretl, in Tools > Preferences >General >
Programs > Command to launch GNU R it says "RGUI.exe" in the box.

First bug: Using Tools > Start GNU R results in an error message: "File not
found."

Second bug: When clicking on Tools > Preferences >General > Programs >
Command to launch GNU R > Browse... and adding the whole path to RGUI.exe
in the box , the Tools > Start GNU R works perfectly and starts R. However,
when closing gretl and restarting it, the path has disappeared and it says
only "RGUI.exe" in the box again. And trying to start R again results in
the first bug again.

Best regards
Andreas Karlsson
