... Dynare from source, but I'm getting the following error: configure: error: Can't find UMFPACK configure: error: ./configure failed for mex/build/octave even though the libumfpack5.7.1 library is already installed.

Dynare 4.4.3 only supports Octave 3.8.1. That is why you are experiencing the problems. The unstable version supports 4.2.1. The problem is that the mex-files have to be built against the Octave version you are using. If you scroll down ...

I am using Xubuntu 16.04 LTS and installed dynare and octave to run some DSGE models, using "sudo apt-get install octave" and "sudo apt-get install dynare" Unfortunately I am hitting an error immediately as I try to run the tutorial ...

You cannot run Dynare 4.4.3 with Octave 4.2. Please try Dynare's unstable version (to be released as Dynare 4.5 soon): http://www.dynare.org/download/dynare-unstable

You must be confusing something. I looked into Dynare 4.3.1 and

Code: Select all

M_.state_var

seems to be only created with the

Code: Select all

block

option. Thus, Octave is not the problem.
In 4.3.1, the state ordering should be in

Code: Select all

oo_.dr.kstate

I'm using Dynare 4.3.1 and Octave 3.6.4 because I have legacy code from 2014 that parses out individual model variables and decision rules for a model with > 100 state variables. The code was previously working fine with Dynare 4.3.1 and ...

Is there a reason you are not using the most recent unstable version of Dynare with Octave 4.2.1?

That does not exist either.

octave:6> oo_.dr.state_var
error: structure has no member 'state_var'

I switched from MATlab to Octave (using version 4.3.1) and am no longer able to find the structure M_.state_var. I need these indices. Does anyone know where to find them in Octave?

... of the installation command "brew install dynare --HEAD --with-matlab=/Applications/MATLAB_R2017a.app --with-matlab-version=9.2 --without-octave --with-tex" Compilation of the stable version (so without the --HEAD option) works fine, but unfortunately not the HEAD version. I guess ...

Also, if you're not going to use Octave, you can execute the following installation command:

brew install dynare --with-matlab=/Applications/MATLAB_R2017a.app --with-matlab-version=9.2 --without-check --without-octave
