Installing Dynare for octave on macosx

[ake27]

Hello,
I am trying to install stable Dynare for octave according to the manual http://www.dynare.org/DynareWiki/InstallOnMacOSX. I tried: brew install dynare --HEAD --without-check and other options, but it gives the following error:

What can be done to fix the issue? I have already updated brew and ran brew doctor, and it didn't help.

 Warning: Anaconda is known to frequently break Homebrew builds, including Vim and
MacVim, due to bundling many duplicates of system and Homebrew-available

If you encounter a build failure please temporarily remove Anaconda

I have done

Code: Select all

> brew reinstall gcc

, but it didn't do anything.

Thanks for the help

[HoutanBastani]

Whenever you have a problem installing via homebrew, the first thing you should do is look at the output of

Code: Select all

brew doctor

. You have many warnings, each telling you the steps to take to take care of them. These warnings can be ignored if you don't have any problems installing homebrew packages. But, if you do, they are the first thing to take care of. So please take care of all of these warnings and try again.

[hhceylan]

They are not really related to the problem at thand.

The problem is I think this line:

Code: Select all

ld: library not found for -lgfortran

I tried to reinstall fortran but doesn't do anything. It can't find that command or library.

[HoutanBastani]

What is the output of:

Code: Select all

ls -la /usr/local/lib/gcc/6/libgfortran*

[hhceylan]

Sorry for the late response.

This is the output I get:

Edit: I also submitted a report to github page of homebrew/science, but so far I did not get any response

Thanks!

[HoutanBastani]

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

[hhceylan]

I solved all the problems homebrew pointed. I still have the same problem

Code: Select all

~ 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 is using.I guess this problem can be replicated on other Mac machines using homebrew now.

Thanks

[HoutanBastani]

I do not encounter the same problem when I install via homebrew so 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 just type

Code: Select all

brew install dynare --with-matlab=/Applications/MATLAB_R2014b.app --with-matlab-version=8.4 --without-octave

If, on the other hand, you only want Octave files, you're in luck as these are bottled by homebrew and do not require local compilation. Simply type

Code: Select all

brew install dynare

If you want both you can:
1) Install Dynare for Octave as above
2) Copy the files in `/usr/local/Cellar/dynare/4.4.3_3/lib/dynare/mex/octave` to your desktop
3) run `brew uninstall dynare`
4) Install Dynare for Matlab as above
5) Copy the files from step 2 to `/usr/local/Cellar/dynare/4.4.3_3/lib/dynare/mex/octave`

[AS90]

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) instead seem to read to install Octave 3.6.4 for systems beyond the 10.6 release? - Won't Homebrew, in other words, install Octave's latest version?

1b. Further, could this (https://sourceforge.net/projects/octave ... g/download) system bundle yet work for the successful and eventual installation of both Octave and Dynare on OS X Sierra, found at this page (http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_MacOS_X)?

2. Presuming successful Octave and Dynare installations, which of these 2 instructions, here (http://www.dynare.org/DynareWiki/InstallOnMacOSX) found, is to be followed:

Code: Select all

2. At the Octave prompt, type: addpath /usr/local/opt/dynare/lib/dynare/matlab
2. Before executing MOD files, you need to execute the following command at Octave prompt: addpath /Applications/Dynare/<<version>>/matlab

?

Thanks in advance for your time.

[HoutanBastani]

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 read instructions for Dynare 4.3 even though that is not the current stable release.

So, if you look closely at the instructions for Dynare stable (currently 4.4.3) you see that, once Octave is installed via Homebrew, you should type

Code: Select all

addpath /usr/local/opt/dynare/lib/dynare/matlab

Best,
Houtan

[AS90]

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.

[HoutanBastani]

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

[AS90]

Much obliged.
