Error in cvx_mosek

(Atefe) #1

I installed mosek and when I use ‘mosekdiag’ I get
Operating system variables
PATH :

*** No input file specified. No optimization is performed.

Return code - 0 [MSK_RES_OK]

mosekopt: C:\Program Files\Mosek\8\toolbox\r2014a\mosekopt.mexw64
Found MOSEK version : major(8), minor(1), revision(72)
mosekopt is working correctly.
MOSEK Fusion is working correctly.

I have an academic license for CVX when I use
cvx_setup /path/to/your/cvx_license.dat
I get
Setting CVX paths…already set!

Please help me.

Please show the results of cvx_version. Which version of mosek are you using?

If you are using CVX 3.0beta, please install CVX 2,.1 and try that.

I think you will have to wait for @mcg to provide assistance on this.

However, in the meantime, I suggest reinstalling CVX 2.1 and see whether that works. Given that you receive a similar error message with gurobi, I suspect the problem is with the CVX installation, not with mosek. Also, it may help him to diagnose if you provide the full output of cvx_version, not just the cvx version.

@mcg please help me.

(Michael C. Grant) #7

Your version of CVX is way too old. You’ll have to update at least to R2016b I think.

Dear @mcg
I downloaded cvx from
http://cvxr.com/cvx/download/

(Michael C. Grant) #9

Sorry I meant your Matlab version is too old.

@Mark_L_Stone
do you know what is wrong?

(Erling D.Andersen) #12

You wrote

I tried with matlab R2016a and I got error.

So are we supposed to guess what error you got?
What about showing us the error you got.

I wrote the errors above at the first of topic.

Dear @mcg
I use windows. Is there something different for windows to set up?
