the same problem exists with Dynare unstable. Dynare version 4.2.4 used to work

Comment:
George reported the same problem with MATLAB 7.1 also. I don't know what has changed since 4.2.4; my guess is that it rather comes from the building tools than from Dynare itself.
Note that I routinely test against 7.0, but not 7.1.
The difficulty is that I don't have that specific version installed in my virtual machine, and I am not sure I can install it either via a DVD or a website download. I'll have a look.
In my opinion we could raise the requirement for MATLAB, since 7.1 is quite old. People who cannot afford an upgrade could use Octave. Maintaining compatibility with many MATLAB versions has a cost, so we must weight the benefits.

Comment (by michel):
OK for raising the requirement. I have an independent report that recent versions of Dynare work under Windows with Matlab 7.5

Fixed in c65ff9d988a9c3fd4c34d9ff330f7c4551d7f61b.
I did not raise the requirement for MATLAB, since the fix was easy.
However we might still want to raise the requirement (in master) for other reasons, such as using newer functions.
Dear all,
I would like to pick up Sébastien's suggestion to raise the minimum Matlab requirement of Dynare. I would like to suggest to make at least 7.3 (2006b) the new minimum requirement. This would shrink the number of number of Mex-File delivered and selectable in the Dynare unstable package from 7 to 5. Apart from making the file smaller and reducing the compilation time, this would also make the installer more tidy. Moreover, as this version is already 6 years old, I doubt earlier versions are used that much.
Best,
Johannes

Concerning the 4.3 release, we probably should not raise the requirement. But that could make sense for the next release (i.e. on master).
In addition to the smaller number of MEX files to distribute, another advantage is the possibility of using functions and improvements introduced between 7.0 and more recent versions. For a summary, see:
http://www.dynare.org/DynareWiki/MatlabVersionsCompatibility
So I’m personally fine with bumping the requirement to 7.3. What do others think?
OK with me
Best
Michel

Hi,
this looks fine for me thanks Marco

Given the apparent consensus, I raised the requirement for MATLAB. As a reminder, here are the current minimum requirements:
- for 4.3: MATLAB 7.0 (R14) or Octave 3.2 - for master: MATLAB 7.3 (R2006b) or Octave 3.4
