I’ve noticed that the latest dynare++ releases - those that come as part of the whole dynare package - appear significantly less stable than the previous, standalone version I was using. In particular, I get the following error quite frequently (also on files on which the previous version ran ok):

The error appears to be quite random and difficult to trap - we have training PCs that are meant to be exactly identical. I’ve tried dynare++ on the same model file on all four and got it to work on two PCs and crash on the remaining two…
Which leads me to wonder - are other people experiencing similar difficulties? Could it have something to do with the way the new binaries are being compiled?
Thanks for your posts. I was using version 4.1.0 on all the machines, which I guess helps explain the odd behaviour.
I’ll give v.4.1.1 a try and will post back if similar issues occur. Equally, if you’d still like me to recompile and do some tests locally - I’d be happy to try and help (but would need the instructions you mentioned - as the one time I tried to recompile dynare++ I never got much beyond the Lapack / Atlas stage…).
