Hi,
I’m trying to compile dynare from source on a machine with ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS and Matlab ‘9.8.0.1396136 (R2020a) Update 3’.
I do the following:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.dynare.org/Dynare/dynare.git --single-branch --branch 4.6.4cd dynare
autoreconf -si
and everything seems ok. Then I do:
./configure --with-matlab=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2020a --disable-octave
and get the following error:
configure: error: MATLAB cannot be found
configure: error: ./configure failed for mex/build/matlab
I would be extremely grateful for any suggestion.
With my best regards,
Leonardo Bargigli
