ML estimation by using v. 1.10.4

[eare...@cieco.unam.mx]

Hi everyone
I am trying to do ML estimation through path sampling. I am using beauti v1.10.4 in which I can select the option for ml estimation through path sampling/stepping stone sampling.

The problem is that beast is not able to use the samples logged into the mle.file for Marginal Likelihood estimation. It says:

Loading additional development parsers from development_parsers.properties, which is additional set of parsers only available for development version ...

SEVERE: Parsing error - poorly formed BEAST file, path.xml:
Error parsing '<pathSamplingAnalysis>' element with id, 'null':
File '/home/edna/Escritorio/Beast/BEASTv1.10.4/bin/cp_gamma.mle.log' can not be opened for pathSamplingAnalysis element.

Error thrown at: dr.inference.trace.PathSamplingAnalysis$1.parseXMLObject(Unknown Source)

I open the file (cp_gamma.mle.log') in notepad and I can see the values of
state    pathLikelihood.delta    pathLikelihood.source    pathLikelihood.destination, and pathLikelihood.theta. The column pathLikelihood.pathLikelihood remains empty

I do not understand what is wrong with the file and how can it be corrected?

Thank you for any suggestion

I have the same issue.

After  more than two weeks on a cluster my path sampling/stepping stone sampling analyses have aborted with what seems to be the same error.

Can anyone help with this?
