Dear all,

I want to run a coregionalization model with PARDISO solver for R version 4.3.2 (2023-10-31) -- "Eye Holes" but I encounter a few problems. I downloaded the PARDISO software for WINDOWS, put my license key in the panua.lic file as required and ran inla.pardiso.check(), where I get the following error:

[1] "FAILURE: PARDISO IS NOT INSTALLED OR NOT WORKING"                                  
[2] ""

attr(,"status")

Warnmeldung:
In system(paste(shQuote(inla.call.no.remote()), "-m pardiso"), intern = TRUE) :
  Ausführung von Kommando '"C:/Users/AK120175/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.3/INLA/bin/windows/64bit/inla.exe" -m pardiso' ergab Status 3

Also the command inla.setOption(pardiso.license="303BCDF0C08EF46A51...A81DA") does not work.

However the check_license.exe finds the license key and gives the following output:

 cd ~/check_license.exe

Do you have any idea on how to solve this issue?
An answer would be highly appreciated as this would be the next step in my research and without PARDISO solver, the server does not manage to perform INLA as the dataload is too big.

Thanks in advance, 
Corinna

Hi

we're not there yet with adding pardiso version 8, which is also
available for windows. I plan to add it in the next build.

we're also working on a better free option, but it will still take some
time.

Hi,

Apologies for bringing up an old post but as it's directly related to the topic.
Has Paradiso compatibility for INLA in windows os been added and tested?

I was looking at testing it first with a trial licence but got some errors so first want to rule out a wider issue.

Thanks,
Eamonn

No pardiso for Windows. This is not up to us. you can ask the pardiso developers
to provide it using the mingw-gcc compiler and I'll add it.
