Dynare forums

Hello!

I am new here, and I hope, that someone is able to help me. My Problem is, that I am trying to install dynare v4 on my Computer (OS: OPenSuse 11.1). I follow the steps as they are written in the dynarewiki:
1. download dynare version 4 source (I downloaded Dynare version 4 (source code)
2. compile preprocessor
3. compile Dlls

The problems arise when I start compiling the preprocessor:

I do not really know, if there is something going wrong, but it has to, because when I start Octave (v 3.0.2) and want to build the Dlls, the following happens:

It seems to me, that there are too many errors. I am still new on all this linux stuff, so I hope someone can help me. I am really desperate!

Thanks in advance

basher

Dear Basher,

the compilation of the preprocessor went OK, so you should be able to use most features of Dynare without the DLLs.
It will only be slower.
The errors that you encounter while compiling the DLLs come from the fact that you are missing the Octave files necessary to compile MEX functions.
On Debian, I need to get package octave3.2-headers in order to get these files.

Hope it helps

Michel

Wow! Thanks a lot!

It is working right now. I have just installed the missing packages and now it works perfectly!

Thank you very much!
