Installing unstable dynare

Postby mricci » Fri Mar 04, 2016 4:28 pm

Dear all,

I am currently trying to install the unstable version of Dynare for Matlab;
My operating system is OS X 10.10.3.
Following the instructions here:
http://www.dynare.org/DynareWiki/InstallOnMacOSX
I have installed Command Line Tools for Xcode, the latest version of MacTeX and Homebrew.

After that, I have typed in my console, commands like:
Code: Select all
‘brew install dynare --HEAD --without-check’

(trying also with some other variants)

To that command, I receive in response the following error message:

You must `brew link ghostscript` before homebrew/science/dynare can be installed


However, whenever typing ‘brew link ghostscript’ I receive this other error message:

Error: Could not symlink share/ghostscript/9.18
/usr/local/share/ghostscript is not writable.


Does anyone know where the problem is coming from and what I should to fix it?

Ps I have got Dynare 4.3.3 installed in my computer…I am wondering what will happen to it after installing the unstable version: will the two of them be available of will the unstable one update (and so replace) the previous version?

Hi,

Please post the output of the following:
Code: Select all
ls -la /usr/local/share/ghostscript && ls /usr/local/share/; brew doctor


Installing a new version of Dynare will not affect any other installation of Dynare.
Best,
Houtan

Dear Houtan,
Thank you very much for your message. Please find below the output returned by my console once typing the command you suggested:

Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers

working fine: please don't worry and just ignore them. Thanks!

Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause brews that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:

You have the wrong permissions in your

/usr/local/share/
folder. To fix this, type:
Code: Select all
sudo chown -R "$USER":admin /usr/local/share

Dear Houtan,

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Following your instructions, the installation can now be successfully launched.
However, unfortunately, it still happens to stop prematurely returning the error message at the end of the screenshot I report below:

Mattias-MacBook-Pro:~ mricci$ brew install dynare --HEAD --with-matlab=/Applications/MATLAB_R2014a.app --with-matlab-version=8.3 --without-check

READ THIS: https://git.io/brew-troubleshooting
If reporting this issue please do so at (not Homebrew/homebrew):
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science/issues


Note that I have read the brew troubleshooting, therefore my brew has been updated and the command 'brew doctor' simply returns me a message saying that
'the system is ready to brew'.
Do you have any idea of where this problem is coming from and how to fix it?

Thank you very much for your time once again,

Mattia

The problem is that dynare needs to be updated to use the newer version of flex that comes with homebrew. This won't happen for a while. I have updated the homebrew-science dynare formula to use an older version of flex. You can either wait for the people at homebrew science to merge this pull request https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-science/pull/3414 or you can simply replace
Code: Select all
/usr/local/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-science/dynare.rb
with the code found here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/houtanb/homebrew-science/9711afbbf24a4a7a9400a73892637f34bd0b7c2f/dynare.rb. Once you have replaced this file, simply execute
Code: Select all
brew install dynare <<options>>
as before
Best,

Hi Houtan,

Like mdicci, I faced an error while installing unstable version of Dynare but using Octave;

I followed the instructions here: https://github.com/DynareTeam/dynare#mac-os-x

I have installed Command Line Tools for Xcode, as well as the latest version of MacTeX and Octave using Homebrew. (I have checked my Homebrew using brew update and brew doctor.) My operating system is OS X 10.11.6.

An error popped up after I run this command on Terminal to install dynare :cry: :
Code: Select all
brew install dynare --HEAD --without-check

What is the output when you type the following into Terminal
Code: Select all
ls -la /usr/local/bin/gfortran*
