GAMS Matlab Interface on MAC OSX

GAMS
1

I am trying to call the GAMS solver from Matlab on my MAC OSX Machine.

The GAMS Solver works perfectly from Terminal after running the following command:

cd /Users/yousef/gamsdir/projdir ;export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/GAMS/gams24.4_osx_x64_64_sfx


However, when I try to call the same .gms file from Matlab I get the following in Matlab Console:


/bin/bash: gams: command not found


I have added the gamsproj directory and the GAMS Application directory to the Matlab path. Is there anything else I am missing?

Yousef,

Perhaps you need to set the PATH within your Matlab console. You can check if the GAMS sysdir is in the PATH with

% getenv(‘PATH’)

and if not, add it with

% setenv(‘PATH’,[ ‘/Applications/GAMS/gams24.4_osx_x64_64_sfx:’,getenv(‘PATH’) ] )

In my experience, the PATH setting in Matlab on the Mac is sensitive to how you start Matlab: by clicking an icon or by running

$ matlab &

from Terminal. Something to keep in mind.
