I’m using Dynare 4.5.6 with Octave 4.4.0. Having problem running Dynare built-in examples. I get the following message. Any help will be appreciated.
error: Invalid call to beta. Correct usage is:
– beta (A, B)
error: called from
print_usage at line 91 column 5
beta at line 51 column 5
example3_steady_state_helper>@ at line 3 column 15
fsolve at line 204 column 8
example3_steady_state_helper at line 3 column 2
This is strange and looks like a bug in Octave. For some reason, the program does not recognize that beta is the name of a function input and tries to call its built-in function. Do other example work?
Thanks for your response. I think you might be correct that there could be bug in Octave. I tried again running the examples after I correctly defined the path and directory and some run and some don’t. When I try to run Example1 and 2 the program exits. Been able to run ramst only successfully. I am running the above in GUI interface. I can’t run NK_baseline example in GUI but it runs fine in CLI.
I get the following message now when I run the example3_steady-state_helper (same error in GUI & CLI):
addpath c:\dynare\4.5.6\matlab
