building Dynare 4.3.3: which gcc?

[lombard]

Hi,

In the past I managed to build Dynare using the options CC="gcc-4.4" CXX="g++-4.4", as the 4.6 version of gcc that would be used by default would make dynare crash with the error "preprocessor failed".
Now, trying with Dynare 4.3.3 I get errors in the compilation claiming that libblas could not be found in /usr/bin/ld. I have those libraries though.

What could have gone wrong? Which version of gcc do you reccommend?

I personally use GCC 4.7, but I doubt that GCC version is the root of your problem.

What is your system? (distribution and version)

Can you please provide more info, like the config.log file and a if possible a full build log.

Hi Sébastien,

sorry for the delay in replying to your message.

I'm trying to compile on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit.

I have installed a number of things that might have made my system sufficiently different from a standard Ubuntu 12.04.
Despite this I was able to compile Dynare in the past. The configuration output does not seem to complain about missing libraries etc.

Best

Gianni

Then I encourage you to use the Dynare 4.3.3 package that I created for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. See the following page for instructions: http://www.dynare.org/DynareWiki/Instal ... anOrUbuntu (section 1.2).

Otherwise, if you don’t want to use that package, please provide more debugging info (like the config.log file).

Unfortunately the package didn't work for me (that's why I resorted to compilation).

I'll send you the log file.

Cheers

Gianni
