Hello, I'm using Octave with Dynare and Notepad++ to edit the code for Dynare, but I cannot save in the .mod or .dyn format required by Dynare. Are there any editors that can save in .mod format? Or is there an easier way to change the file to .mod?

... 10.7, as I compiled them on 10.8. Do the same thing as yesterday, but try using the mex files located here instead: http://www.dynare.org/houtan/octave/ And tell me how it goes. If this doesn't work, I'd be more inclined to think there was a problem with your setup than with the mex files.

Hmm, unfortunately it still does not work. So it's about the mex-files in combination with octave + dynare? Sorry to bother you... Thanks a lot for your help, though! octave:1> addpath /Applications/Dynare/4.3.3/matlab octave:2> cd /Users/justus/Desktop/ octave:3> dynare ...
