is file name 6march.MFPAR? Is is really big if not - maybe you could paste it's content here? - Evgeny Fadeev (Mar 08 '10 at 12:31)

Could you solve the problem with Error code 9? If so, please let me know what wrong was in your case and how to solve that. I have exactly the same problem. Thanks, - Daisuke Takahashi (Sep 08 '11 at 18:35)

Hey JC, I've not used FMF (fast modelfree) or modelfree yet, but I've downloaded FMF from http://xbeams.chem.yale.edu/~loria/software.php and searched the Perl source code for word 'Error' - nothing like what you have was found.

That means your file is not recognized by the underlying modelfree program. Maybe you could investigate the input file format for modelfree? I hope someone will give a better advice.

edit: I'd try to intercept that file and see what's inside. If the file is not too big - you can even paste it into your question :), hopefully people who know modelfree better will recognize the error.

If perl script removes intermediate files - you can modify it so that it doesn't and then you can inspect the modelfree input directly.

Hi Evgeny, thanks for your efforts. When the program starts, it does recognize the input files, but in the middle of its run, it give me the above said error message. Also, I can run the test files nicely which comes with the script. - Jeetender Chugh (Mar 09 '10 at 05:37)

Here is an update, when I run fastMF using single field data, it runs nicely. Its only when I use two field data, it gives me above said error message. - Jeetender Chugh (Mar 09 '10 at 22:40)

The modelfree program is probably trying to read past the end of the file for some reason. Please make certain that you have the latest version of the software. If that isn't the problem and you have checked the formats of your files carefully, then send me an email directly (agp6@columbia.edu) and I will figure out the problem.

I just read your update, JC.

Do you have a different number of assigned systems at your two different fields? I seem to recall having a similar problem once.

Thanks. But I do have exactly same spins assigned on both the fields. - Jeetender Chugh (Mar 12 '10 at 15:28)
