Needs helps about Matlab 7.7.0(R2008b) and Dynare 3.065

Hi

Could anyone give me some helps?


I have downloaded and unzipped the file 'dynare_mat_v3_065' and then copy the file 'dynare_v3' to c:\

then I copy a file 'example1.mod' from 'examples' to c:\dynare_mod\

After, I open MATLAB and add pathes c:\dynare_3v\matlab and c:\dynare_mod.

Then I change to path c:\dynare_mod, and type command: dynare example1, and then following come up:


>> dynare example1.mod
Warning: Calling MEX-file 'C:\dynare_v3\matlab\mjdgges.dll'.
MEX-files with .dll extensions will not execute in a future version of MATLAB.
??? Invalid MEX-file 'C:\dynare_v3\matlab\gensylv.dll': The specified procedure
could not be found.

.

Error in ==> dr1 at 443
ghxx = gensylv(2,A,B,C,D);

Error in ==> resol at 56
[dr,info] = dr1(dr,check_flag);

Error in ==> stoch_simul at 47
[dr_, info] = resol(ys_,0);

Error in ==> example1 at 110
info=stoch_simul(var_list_);

Error in ==> dynare at 26
evalin('base',fname) ;



Can anyone tell me what goes wrong? Is the MATLAB 2008 incompatible with Dynare V3? If it is the case, what should I do?

Thank you very much.

Hi,

Try to rename all the ".dll" files by changing their extension to ".mexw32". This may work. Otherwise that means that we must provide an updated version of Dynare 3 for recent versions of Matlab. An alternative is to switch to Dynare 4.

Best,

Sébastien

Hi,

I have tried Dynare 4.0 and the problem is solved.

Thank you very much.
