RE: st: Constrained linear regression... is not linear?

Something that could perhaps help understanding what's going on (although I don't exactly see how) is that y is a discrete variable, y = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}...
Thanks...

I did a search for this error and it says it happens when the regression is non-linear... but I don't understand what is non-linear about my constraints or my regression.
