# Probleme with Ted Ersek's RootSearch package [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

The following question is a logical continuation of this one. The Ted Ersek's RootSearch package doesn't work with this code:

Needs["ErsekRootSearch"];
Quiet@RootSearch[τ - ArcCos[1/(-11. + 6.16949 E^(0.05 τ))]/
Sqrt[0.380626 + (0.08062600000000003 - 0.04130349999999999 E^(0.05 τ))/
(-1. + 1. E^(0.05 τ) - 0.25 E^(0.1 τ))] == 0, {τ, -5, 14}]


with error message:

Get::noopen: Cannot open ErsekRootSearch. >>
Needs::nocont: Context ErsekRootSearch was not created when Needs was evaluated. >>


Thank's for help!

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.

• You don't have the package installed, go to this page and download the .m file and the example notebook. The notebook has a section on installation and will help you find out where to put the file. – Jason B. Nov 27 '15 at 9:40
• Mathematica cannot open the file. Closely related (just for a different package): mathematica.stackexchange.com/q/28268/131. Tip: search the site for "was not created when Needs" or similar. – Yves Klett Nov 27 '15 at 9:52
• On a related note, I installed the package and I get the error about setting the minprecision to negative infinity. I follow Jens's advice in the comment to this answer and replace the negative infinity by positive infinity in the package, and it now crashes my kernel. – Jason B. Nov 27 '15 at 9:52
• Consider using any of the listed alternatives in the linked duplicate instead, so that you don't need to load an external package. – J. M. is away Nov 27 '15 at 11:38
