Hello,

When I run the garch examples, I get the following output:

> dax.garch <- garch(dax)

 ***** ESTIMATION WITH ANALYTICAL GRADIENT *****
 ///  TUNER5.... V(30) =  0.750E+00 SHOULD BE BETWEEN  0.503-314 AND

Warning message:

Use `.Machine' instead.

I canšt figure out what to do about the machine is deprecated issue. It
seems that the routine is not picking up machine numerical characteristics,
eps etc. I tried an eps = 0.1 and get slightly better errors (see below).
So, when it calls dsumsl, the errors above are produced. I have checked
str(.Machine) and the definitions are all there.

What should I do to get garch to run?

Regards,

Nick

With eps = 0.1
