Mex-file error on 64bit

Dynare help (legacy posts)
1

Dear All,

I get the following error message on a 64bit Windows 7 machine with Matlab 2010a and Dynare 4.1.3.
I have a code that launches several times Dynare and while everything works fine for the first 10-20 times this message occurs at some point.

Has anyone experienced the same problem?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Tarik

Hi Tarik,

Try to add a “clear functions” before every call to Dynare. It may solve the problem.

Another thing to try is to add a pause (with “pause 2”) before every run of Dynare.

Best,
