Problem in estimation in Dynare-unstable

Installation and Setup
1

Hi,
I had tried to run the template “RBC_MoM_prefilter.mod” in test folder on dynare-unstable and Matlab 2017b
It came to the error messages:

In select_x13_binary (line 62)

In initialize_dseries_class (line 105)
In dynare_config (line 138)
In dynare (line 66)
Undefined function or variable ‘dynare_version’.
Error in dynare (line 200)
fprintf(['Starting Dynare (version ’ dynare_version() ‘).\n’]);

Did you properly remove the path to other Dynare versions and set the new one?

3

Yes, in matlab 2017b, there is not any dynare before add dynare-unstable to the path

4

That is strange, because there should be a dynare_version.m in the matlab-subfolder.

5

I had added a nlma toolbox in the contrib-subfolder and dynareOBC toolbox into the path，is it a problem？

>> addpath C:\App\dynare-unstable\matlab

dynare RBC_MoM_prefilter

Warning: X13 binary is not available.
If you are under Debian or Ubuntu, you can install it through your package manager, with ‘apt
install x13as’.
If you are under Windows or macOS, this probably means that you did not install the dseries toolbox
through an official package.

My dynare-unstable folder had copied from [git.dynare.org/dynare](https://git.dynare.org)

8

Then you did not correctly install it. What is your operating system?

9

My OSys is Windows 10

Then use the installer at https://www.dynare.org/download/

11

After installing it, run RBC_MoM_ .mod in test-folder?

It’s Ok!

Thanks very much!
