Hi all,
when trying to replicate the issue Sven faced in another thread. I
came across
the issue that currently the shipped addons are not built and
installed in
fedora.
I am using the gretl spec file, which can be found at [1].
I tried adding
%configure --disable-static \
--disable-avx \
--with-mpi \
--with-dbnomics \
--with-extra \
--with-geoplot \
--with-gig \
--with-ivpanel \
--with-SVAR
the addons to the configure command, but no luck. Could you please
tell me how
to build and install these addons?
Johannes, the addons get built if you pass --enable-build-addons.
I should explain: we didn't make that the default because the build
requires quite a full TeX setup. The idea is that if the addons are
not included in a gretl package for Linux, they should get downloaded
from sourceforge on demand.
Ok, but then something else might be broken, because I couldn't
install the dbnomics function package from gretl.
When accessing File - Databases - DB.NOMICS I get the error message in
the terminal:
load function package: failed on
/usr/share/gretl/functions/dbnomics/dbnomics.gfn
OK, we need to investigate that -- accessing that menu item ought to
cause gretl to download the dbnomics addon from sourceforge, if it's not
already installed.
But I couldn't install the dbnomics function package from File -
Function package - On server, because it's not present in the list.
That's expected, because dbnomics isn't a contributed package, it's an
"official" addon. Could you see what happens if you try under
/Help/Check for addons ? (Though that shouldn't be necessary.)
Thank you, this worked flawlessly and I could see all the available
addons and was able to install dbnomics. Afterwards, I could of course
also browse the dbnomics database.
I will check how big of an issue the inclusion of them would be, when
building gretl.
Johannes
Not sure what's missing or wrong here, but that's why I thought I
should compile them for installing them from the beginning.
If TeX isn't a blocker, that would be good. But we need to see what's
going wrong with the other pathway (when the addons are not buit into
the gretl-for-Linux package).
Allin
