Hello all,

I'm getting the message "Error: Unable to open paramfile ''paramfile'' Please check the name of the paramfile" while trying to run CLUMPP. I checked extention of paramfile as it was suggested here. It seems that it is .txt since Mac suggests to open it with TextEdit. But I have no idea how to change the extention: when I click on Name & Extention it just shows me "Paramfile" without any extention.

Can someone please help me with this?

Check the file name in terminal app.

Here the path /Users/polzovatel/Desktop/CLUMPP_MacOSX.1.1.2/paramfile

No .txt extension. What else can be the problem?

What I also tries: when I try just to open paramfile I get "Permission denied" message. So I tried chmod 755 on both paramfile and CLUMPP. After that I get this: 

/Users/polzovatel/Documents/CLUMPP/paramfile: line 13: DATATYPE: command not found

/Users/polzovatel/Documents/CLUMPP/paramfile: line 19: INDFILE: command not found

/Users/polzovatel/Documents/CLUMPP/paramfile: line 22: POPFILE: command not found

...

and so on.

Please please help me!

Have you tried just re-extracting the whole clumpp package and running it without touching or opening any files externally? I had problems with being denied access to Clumpp and I saw that the permissions were all weird. Since my unix is rusty, I didn't know about chmod 755, so I just re-extracted the zip folder and it all worked fine.
