Hi,

The binary for Dynare 4.4.2 is only compatible with Octave 3.6.1, not 3.8.1. You can download the right version of Octave on the Dynare website.

The upcoming Dynare 4.4.3 release will be compatible with Octave 3.8.1.

Best,

HI, I am also a new user of dynare and facing the same problem as mpeng in trying to run the examples provided by dynare. I am using Octave 3.8.1 (MinGW) for Window 7 with 64 bit, and the dynare version i am using is dynare 4.4.2. The octave system returns following statement when i type ...

I use Octave 3.4.0. The most recent one doesn't run on my Mac. But I'll check if 3.6 does.

Which Octave version are you using? You could also try the most recent snapshot/unstable version which is built against Octave 3.8.1

Now that I tried o run it with the 4.4.2 version, there are those error messages: octave-3.4.0:3> dynare Ireland.mod Configuring Dynare ... [mex] Generalized QZ. [mex] Sylvester equation solution. [mex] Kronecker products. [mex] Sparse kronecker products. [mex] Local ...

This is what I had before, but then there was an error message saying that this Dynare version might not be compatible with my Octave version.

... that I obviously made writing the model. It's a quite simple model, so maybe can have a quick look at it, and identify the errors. This is what Octave tells me, when I try to run the model: Configuring Dynare ... [mex] Generalized QZ. [mex] Sylvester equation solution. [mex] Kronecker products. ...

Are you using Octave? Which version?

I downloaded a lower version of Octave and that particular error disappeared ; However, it gaves me another error message saying that a calling function could not find a mex file (as in the libary or depednents)

Unfortunately, without more information about the nature of the defect that synaptics has found, I can hardly help… On my side the package looks fine.

Maybe you did not import the cryptographic key that is used to sign the custom Dynare packages?

Dear Sébastien Villemot, thank you very much for your efforts to make the newest Dynare version available for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Octave 3.8.1 ppa users. I downloaded the newest binaries for Dynare (that means dynare, dynare-doc,dynare-matlab, dynare-common, all of them in the 4.4.2.1~precise2 ...

I am actually using windows. Octave 3.6 has a bug which causes it to crash when producing too many plots (ft_render error) so upgraded to 3.8.

Would a similar fix be available for the windows installation?
