I am using Xubuntu 16.04 LTS and installed dynare and octave to run some DSGE models, using “sudo apt-get install octave” and “sudo apt-get install dynare”
Unfortunately I am hitting an error immediately as I try to run the tutorial files here: dynare.org/documentation-and … t/tutorial
When trying to run “example1.mod” I get an error.
Here is my entire octave session, with errors:

I’ve tried a few other examples with similar results.
I googled the error messages and found this post:
- “dynare4.4.3 + octave 4.0.1+ windows10:” Dynare4.4.3 + octave 4.0.1+ windows10
It refers to this issue on github, which appears to just have been closed earlier today: github.com/DynareTeam/dynare/issues/1113
Does this appear to be the same problem? If so, do we know when it might be fixed on Linux?
Thanks!
