I guess you are talking about Windows? If you have a matching version of Dynare and Octave on Windows, then compatibility is very good (except for some solvers only being available in Matlab Toolboxes). Problems arise if you use an Octave version newer than what Dynare ...

Hi everyone,

please, is there any problem with a portability between Dynare in MATLAB and in Octave? Are these two perfectly compatible? The problem is that I will obtain a .mod file prepared in Dynare for MATLAB and I plan to run it in Dynare for Octave.

Thanks in advance.

... with an earlier version of Matlab as Dynare 4.4.3 was released a few years ago it's not guaranteed to be compatible with versions of Matlab or Octave that have been released since then. If this problem persists in the official Matlab release, I'll consider making new mex files and distributing ...

... I've been trying to estimate the attached DSGE model, and I'm receiveing the following error message when I activate Dynare 4.4.3 (I'm also using Octave 3.8.1): error: read_variables: A(I,J,...) = X: dimensions mismatch error: called from: error: C:\dynare\4.4.3\matlab\read_variables.m at line ...

Thanks a lot for the help!!

... there is something wrong with your setup that is difficult to debug from a distance. However, you have a problem only if you want both matlab and octave mex files. If you want one or the other, you're ok. Your build works well when compiling Matlab mex files. So, if you only want these, you can ...

Much obliged.

Yes, as you can see here: https://github.com/DynareTeam/dynare#mac-os-x

Grateful for your helpful answer. One further query, please: will addpath /usr/local/opt/dynare/lib/dynare/matlab also work for the unstable version? Thanks.

Hi, To answer your question, the only supported Octave on OS X is available via Homebrew, which will install the latest Octave. I updated http://www.dynare.org/DynareWiki/InstallOnMacOSX to make it more clear as the formatting was leading you to ...

Dear sir, I kindly ask a few clarifying questions. 1a. At this (http://www.dynare.org/download/octave) link it says that for 10.8 systems and beyond Octave is to be installed via Homebrew: will Dynare therefore work with Octave's latest version, as I here (http://www.dynare.org/DynareWiki/InstallOnMacOSX) ...

I solved all the problems homebrew pointed. I still have the same problem ~ brew doctor Your system is ready to brew. I was able to find a couple of similar problems on net (not Dynare related). Apparently there is an incompatibility between the gfortran baked into homebrew and whatever the Dynare i...

Ok, so your gfortran installation seems fine. Please take care of the problems reported by brew doctor.
