Refprop on MacOS and MATLAB: error "REFPRP64_thunk_pcwin64.dylib' (no such file)" #697

Open raffcil opened 3 hours ago

Description

Hi, I'm on Mac Os 14.6.1 and I successfully cloned and installed the refprop repository as discussed in https://github.com/usnistgov/REFPROP-cmake. I'm now trying to link it to matlab through refpropm.m, rp_proto and rp_proto64. However, this error appears "REFPRP64_thunk_pcwin64.dylib' (no such file)". Can someone help me solve this?

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Refprop library (librefprop.dylib)
  2. point refpropm.m to the correct file
  3. refpropm('P','T',25,'Q',0,'CO2')

Expected behavior: pressure of CO2

Actual behavior: REFPRP64_thunk_pcwin64.dylib' (no such file)

Versions

REFPROP Version: 9.1 Operating System and Version: Mac Os Sonoma 14.6.1

refpropm is no longer supported. Please migrate to the Python interface to MATLAB.

is it retrocompatible with my old windows matlab scripts using refpropm?

ianhbell commented 3 hours ago

No. refpropm had limited functionality and the new interface is much richer. There is a wrapper function developed by my colleagues at NIST: https://github.com/usnistgov/REFPROP-wrappers/tree/master/wrappers/MATLAB#refprop-for-matlab

Ok i'll try to install the wrapper. Thanks
