Re: st: question on gllamm with ip(f), the discrete latent variable

[Hey Sky <heyskywalker@yahoo.com>]

thanks for your answer. 

I have tried another 3 computers, luckily there are many available for me, 2 does not work and 2 works. even.
but it seems it is the source of the problem. thanks again
