... computes the equations, and creates the m-files, but then no graphs or any other output whatsoever appears; the last line is "starting MATLAB/Octave computing", and then, nothing happens. For information, I am running it on Matlab 7.0.1 - but I also tried on Octave, and it does the same ...

... dynare actually does not compute it (the model is really simple, see below, but after a few minutes dynare still stands at "starting matlab/octave computing"). Being a newbie I have no idea what might be wrong, as no errors are reported. Could you possibly help? Thanks a lot! var c, ...

Hi, Your problem seems complicated, for two reasons: you're using your own Octave build, and your MATLAB 32-bit doesn't match your 64-bit arch. I suggest the following: ⋅  configure Dynare without specifying a PATH to matlab, or even with the "--disable-matlab" ...

... Dynare++.exe file, but nothing happens. Do I need to have C++ compiler or something similar? Since I could not get Dynare++ going, I installed GNU Octave 3.2.3 to try out Dynare 4.1.0 and tried to run example2.mod file that I downloaded from dynare.org. This is what I got: GNU Octave, version 3.2.3 ...

For the record, I am building from source because I have compiled my own lapack/atlas from source, Octave from source and the packaged binaries also fail probably because of the mismatch between matlab 32-bit and my architecture. Gotten a little further. I went ahead and ...

... you added dynare's matlab folder with all the subfolders... You should not, Dynare adds the subfolders if needed (this depends on your matlab/octave version).

Thank you very much! Following your suggestion, I have re-installed Dynare and now it works. (Curiously, for info, everything worked fine with Octave even before re-installation ...)
Regards

Hi,

thanks, I installed the headers and Octave runs.

Still as in the Matlab version the third order does not seem to produce third order means (they are actually identical to the steady-state).

I'll open a new thread on this issue.

Sorry I thought you were running it under Windows. So my suggestion about "msvc" or "cygwin" option doesn't apply. Maybe you need to install the "octave3.2-headers" package: please let me know if this makes a difference, it should then be mentionned in the documentation...

Hi The reason is very simple: Octave is a free software developed for free by a few benevolent people, and MATLAB is a commercial software with a lot of financial support. MATLAB developers have a lot more time to work on their project than ...

Hi, All. I use MS Windows as OS and I had installed Octave with minGW. I excuted an example .mod file and compared the time comsuming in Octave with Matlab. For the same process, Dynare spend too much of time in Octave than in Matlab. (such as, 8 minutes ...

Hi,

I'm using Octave 3.2.2 in Ubuntu Linux (9.10). I tired what you suggested (though you might have thought about Windows)
with no success.

Apparently Dynare is not generating the required mex files.
