eps files made by Octave are faulty

Postby reluginbuhl » Fri Jul 22, 2011 3:28 pm

I am unable to open or print the eps graphics files made by Octave after performing a bayesian estimation. Has anyone else had this problem?

What OS & Octave version are you running?

Also, please provide a mod file that reproduces this error.

I use Octave version 3.2.4 together with GUI Octave 1.3.0. I run Dynare 4.2.1 and use the program RBC_schat.mod, with RBC_schat_steadystate.m and the data file simRBCgrow.m. The OS is Windows XP Professions version 2002 service pack 3. I also have a computer with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits, which, with the same software setup, also produces unusable eps files.
Thanks for the help.
Sincerely,
Rob Luginbuhl

This is a bug either with Octave or Dynare. Will find the source (and fix if it's Dynare) and get back to you.

This is a bug in Octave 3.2.4.

The problem disappears with Octave 3.4.3. Try to upgrade, there are compiled versions of Octave 3.4.3 for Windows there: http://wiki.octave.org/wiki.pl?OctaveForWindows
