[Gretl-users] Minor bug for gretl's interaction with R

[John C Frain]

I have a similar problem.  Below I have included an extract from my
console after calling R from Gretl. After the call i get the message

> gretldata <- read.table("C:/Documents and Settings/John C Frain/Application Data/gretl/Rdata.tmp", header=TRUE)
Error in eval.with.vis(expr, envir, enclos) :
        could not find function "read.table"

The function read.table is available.  Entering the command passed by
Gretl to R in the console works perfectly.  I am not sure if the
problem is with R or Gretl or in the interaction between the two.
Entering the command by hand is a work around for my problem.

Best Regards

John
