The help file for dwtest says formula: a symbolic description for the model to be tested (or a fitted "lm" object).
It is not clear from your message, but it would seem that you used fitp2 as the argument to dwtest. (In any case, this gives the error message you quote?) But fitp2 is neither a formula, nor is it an object ineriting from "lm". Why did you expect dwtest to work on a gls object?

The model and data set are below. Any suggestions would be really helpful! Thanks a lot in advance, M.
