Error message when I run sample files

[koji]

Hi Michel and all

I installed dynare 4.0(scilab version) and try to run sample files.

[MichelJuillard]

There is no Scilab version of Dynare version 4.0.

Can you check which version you are really using and which file did you download from the server?

Thanks

Michel

[koji]

Yes. The version is 3.02.(I downloaded dyn_sci_0302.zip)
What causes the problem?

[MichelJuillard]

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.

Best

Michel

Thank you so much.
I did as you suggest. The result is as follows.

-->getf('uplib.sci')
Warning :redefining function: uplib

-->uplib()
Warning: Error in file dynarescilabasset_fff.sci :
"endfunction is missing"
file ignored

!--error 4
undefined variable : fl
at line 12 of function getsave called by :
line 87 of function genlib called by :
line 3 of function uplib called by :
uplib()

I checked uplib.sci.

function uplib()
%nb=predef(0)
genlib('dynarelib','\dynare\scilab')
predef(%nb(1))

There might be no problem.

Dear Koji,

I think you aren't in the right directory when you did uplib(). You must do

cd c:\dynare\scilab
uplib()

It is also possible that you copied other files into c:\dynare\scilab. If that is the case, it is best to erase all files in directory c:\dynare\scilab and start the installation again.

Kind regards

Michel

[koji]

I confirmed that the directory is right. I tried re-install many times.
(And there is no other file in c:\dynare\scilab .
I still have the same problem.

There might be something wrong in irf.sci or stoch_simul.sci?

[koji]

The 11the line of irf.sci is as follows.

rand('seed',j,'n');

When I delete this line, graphics are shown with no error message.
Is this method correct?

[MichelJuillard]

Dear Koji,

thank you for reporting the problem. I will try to correct it as soon as possible

Kind regards

Michel
