I am having problems using NPSOL on a linux grid computing system:
After installing OpenMx via getOpenMx.R and setting NPSOL as the default optimiser I run an OpenMx demo script (e.g., OneFactorPathDemo.R) and get the following error message:
Error in runHelper(model, frontendStart, intervals, silent, suppressWarnings, : BLAS/LAPACK routine ' DGEQR' gave error code -6
Things are fine when I use the other optimizers - but were also in the past with NPSOL.
After checking OpenMx/npsol directory, the person in charge of the grid generated the hypothesis that the latest OpenMx version might not include NPSOL for linux users.
Apparently, only windows and osx feature in there. Is this the case?
OpenMx version: 2.8.3 [GIT v2.8.3]
R version: R version 3.3.3 (2017-03-06)
Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (Debian GNU/Linux 9.3 (stable))
Default optimiser: NPSOL
NPSOL-enabled?: Yes
OpenMP-enabled?: Yes
