Re: st: GLLAMM -- problems with passing starting values

[Jean-Benoit Hardouin <jean-benoit.hardouin@orscentre.org>]

Are you using Stata 9 or Stata 8 ? I have problems with -gllamm- by 
adding the "from" and/or "eval" functions with Stata 9 but not with 
Stata 8 (but not the same error message than yours). [see my messages
