Hi Roger!!
unfortunately not. The same problem. OK to polynom 2 for all three method.
Ok for polynominal 4 for gls and qr decomposition
Ok only for gls with polynom over the 5.

I think it is a problem of matrix decomposition and additional parameter 
called "balance" in gsl which is still out of my knowledge.

The funny is that solution I proposed is as very simple that probably it 
should not work, except that it work for gls library! The only problem 
is that it is external dependency (for Grass as far as I know not for R)

thanks for suggestion. I will try in that way also with krc
