Hi Ox users,
Apparently like quite a few other I had some problems installing Ox
under Linux (Redhat 6.0), or more specifically, to get QuadPack running.
The error message was
>Link error: 'quadpk' cannot load dll
>Link error: 'QNG' undefined function
The solution to this problem was connected to a small remark in Jurgen's
page
http://www.nuff.ox.ac.uk/users/doornik/download.html#oxpackdll
saying that
"Note that the Linux versions of Arfima and QuadPack require f2c. "
With RedHat 6.0 (and probably other versions as well) the f2c package
does not get installed automatically, as g77 is used for compiling
fortran programs.
To get QuadPack to run, one should install the file (e.g. downloaded
from the Netherlands):
ftp://ftp.surfnet.nl/mirror/linux/distributions/redhat/powertools/6.0/i386/f2c-19990326-1.i386.rpm
Hope this is of help to some of you,
Charles Bos
