Dynare forums

Hi!

Has anybody tried to install Dynare's scilab version? Scilab (4.0) does not contain uplib() command that is needed to run according to installation instructions.

I just wanted to try to experiment with scilab version.

Antti

Hi Antti,

the binaries are probably not compatible with Scilab version 4.0. I will post new install instructions. By the way uplib() is part of Dynare, not Scilab.

With Scilab version 4.0, it is necessary to add the following steps to redo the binaries. At the Scilab prompt, execute the followin commands:

cd c:\dynare\scilab
getf('uplib.sci')
uplib()

It may be necessary to reload Scilab for the modifications to take effect.

Dear Mr. Michel.

I had the same problem and with the new instructions, it worked to me. But the example1.mod of scilab couldn't run. I wrote: "cd:/dynare/examples" and even with this , the program gave wrong answers.

In order to make it clear, here is the copy-and-pasted:

->

-->scipad('C:\dynare\examples\example1.mod');

--> sci =

../../
Can't go to directory lib
chdir lib
!--error 998
chdir: Internal Error
at line 17 of exec file called by :
exec("C:/Program Files/scilab-4.0/examples/interface-general/builder.sce");
in execstr instruction called by :
scipad('C:\dynare\examples\example1.mod');



-->cd c:\dynare\examples
ans =

c:\dynare\examples

-->dynare example1.mod

If you could help me, I would thank you so much.

Dear Claudio,

the final answer doesn't look wrong to me. You should rename the beta parameter in order to avoid the repeated warning.
