#15 L is larger than the number of control IPs.

[Witold Eryk]

The Saint Express executable errors with:

L is larger than the number of control IPs.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'char const*'

/export/data02/PROLFQUA/r-site-library/prolfqua/SaintExpress/bin/Linux64/SAINTexpress-int inter.txt prey.txt bait.txt

A search for this error message did not return any result.

the bait.txt file looks like:

20220408_XYZ_Control CONTROL C
20220408_XYZ_Bait1 Bait1 T
20220408_XYZ_Bait2 Bait2 T

My guess, SAINTExpress complains that there is only a single control in this dataset.
Can you confirm?

Hey!

I've got the same error, but I'm just working with the example data:

Did you have any luck getting to the bottom of this error? Thanks!
