MARK Benchmark Error

[ufuser]

I am attempting to run the MARK benchmark found here http://www.phidot.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=577 and I am encountering the error:

Visual Fortran run-time error
forrtl: severe (161): Program Exception - array bounds exceeded
Image PC Routine Line Source
mark.exe 004C2BCC ESTMAT 1115 estmat.for

I am not sure what this means, can anyone help?

My PC
Dell OptiPlex 755
Intel Quad Core 6600 2.4 GHz
4 GB Ram
Windows Vista Enterprise SP1
Mark version 5.1

Thats because the benchmark code as presented is no longer compatible with the current version of the MARK executable. It is on my list for 'updating' - probably sometime next week.

If you really want to do it now, you can actually extract the basic histories and the underlying parameter structure from the current benchmark, and feed it into MARK manually.

I will wait for the updated code. Thanks!

Just posted updated code.

Evan,
I just tested the updated benchmark on my new computer following the instructions and mark gave me an error

Error=Number of parameters specified is incorrect for this number of occasions.

here is the bottom of the .list file.

You must be making a mistake somewhere. Works perfectly for me.

[bacollier]

As per usual, you are correct. Downloaded and re-installed MARK again, works fine.

Glad it worked. As with most things related to 'software issues', best advice is always to re-install.
