MOSEK version 7 and Rmosek

Currently, the version of the Rmosek interface on CRAN does not support MOSEK version 7. This issue may never be fixed because it seems CRAN does not like commercial software anymore and therefore  MOSEK  may be removed from CRAN.

Therefore, an updated version of Rmosek inteface is available for download here.

MOSEK version 7.0.0.60 (RC)

The final release candidate for MOSEK version 7 is now available from the MOSEK website. The most important fix is that this version works with the latest MATLAB versions without crashing on 64 bit Linux. However, many minor bug fixes have also been included.

Version 7 installation troubles

The installation of MOSEK version 7 has been simplified compared to previous versions. In particular on Linux and MAC OSX the setting OS variables has been eliminated. Nevertheless troubles may arise unfortunately.

A common installation problem occurs if MOSEK version 7 is installed on a system that have had version 6 installed previously because then version 7 picks up the version 6 license file unless the OS environment variable MOSEKLM_LICENSE_FILE is removed. By default MOSEK version 7  reads the license file $HOME/mosek/mosek.lic where $HOME represents the users home directory. However, the method of using the OS variable MOSEKLM_LICENSE_FILE to point to the license file still works.  If only version 7 is employed it is strongly recommend to remove the setting of the OS variable MOSEKLM_LICENSE_FILE and then use the default location the license file. Alternatively MOSEKLM_LICENSE_FILE should be updated to point to the version 7 license file which can be used by version 6 too.
