Hello

I’m a newbie trying to install dynare on a Mac (10,4) to run with Octave. I’ve been looking around how to do so, but I end up with a final problem : When I type: “octave-3.2.3:8\> dynare ramst”, which looks like the final step (according to [dynare.org/DynareWiki/DynareOctave](http://www.dynare.org/DynareWiki/DynareOctave)), I get this answer:

Configuring Dynare …  
[m] Generalized QZ.  
[m] Sylvester equation solution.  
[m] Kronecker products.  
[m] Sparse kronecker products.

error: DYNARE: can’t open ramst.mod  
error: called from:  
error: /Applications/Dynare-4.0.4/matlab/dynare.m at line 85, column 3

I’ve been looking around for hours, but I still can’t find how to solve this… Can someone tell me what to do please?

Thanks a lot

Martin

Did you move to the directory where ramst.mod is stored (using the “cd” command) ?

By the way, it looks like the MEX files are not compiled, so something probably went wrong during the installation.

Thanks for the reply, but I finally managed to open it. It now works almost well!
