I have now installed the satically-linked version of Stata for Linux. The
installation went without any problems at all. However, the problems I
mentioned yesterday remain. The most important problem concerns the redisplaying
of regression models, which I have also described in a separate mail. Because of
this I will contact [email protected] and report the results back to Statalist.
