[ADMB Users] Compiling trouble on Mac, 10.9.4

[Øigård Tor Arne]

Hi,

Thanks to everyone for the feedback! After posting the problem I found the admb version I used before on a backup disk and copied that. Then it worked fine. Tried your solution of replacing "_Constant" with "constant" on the latest admb version and it worked well. I'll have a closer look at the API docs. 

Kind regards,
Tor Arne

The functions in the API are different than the ones listed below.  But I would urge you to examine the API docs, as the function you have below does not add any sort of quadratic penalty to the objective function that would ensure its continuous and differentiable. But not knowing the context, I'm not sure what you are trying to do.  In short, if x is involved in calculating the objective function value, you should probably use the 3 argument version of posfun that is listed in the API.

Installed everything clean but when trying to compile my admb code it spits out error messages. I can compile and run the simple example without any problem. This problem never occurred before.
