Hello,

this is the 1st time I use both programs. In the uniersity we use Mathlab and Dynare in Windows.  
Now I already installed Mathlab and Dynare on my Mac, but I can’t open the mod files, which I used today (and which are supposed to work).  
I can’t run mod-files and I get errors for m-files.  
Could it be, the reason is in the different os-systems? How can I transform this then?

Thank you very much for your help,  
Dominik

What Mac OS X version are you using? Dynare 4.2.0 / 4.2.1 will not work on OS X 10.4 or earlier.

What do you mean you can’t open the .mod files?

Have you followed the installation directions here:
