Please provide more information:

• platform you are using
• version of PyMC you are using
• version of Python you are using

Also, are you intending to use PyMC2? We recommend most users to work with PyMC3, which is a different repository.

Hi Chris, Thanks for the response. I'm using Anaconda 1.8.5 with Jupyter 5.5.0 running Python 3.6.4 64 bit on a Windows 10 platform. I installed pymc via my Anaconda Navigator environment. I'm working with some pre-existing code that imports PyMC 2 My goal is to recreate a MCMC dynamic factor switching model for classification of economic recessions v. expansions If PyMC 3 can be substituted, that would be great, but the syntax looked a little bit different. Any suggestions you can provide would be appreciated, thanks! Bruce Bruce Jackson (651) 315-2260[cid:2c478e0e-8dce-4bda-a2cc-de42626d3725] jack3604@stthomas.edu

If you can, try creating a clean conda environment, activate it, and install PyMC in that environment and see if this still happens.

PyMC 2 Code does not run unchanged under PyMC3, but its not hard to port (usually). If you are looking to do substantial development, it would e worth looking at PyMC3, as it is far more capable.

I suspect issue was with fortran compiler and Anaconda. I'm working in PyMC3 now, thanks!
