ERROR: insufficient number of blocks -- you need 5 blocks with non zero ABBA/BABA program terminating.

Dear Sir,
I'm analyzing D-statistics for the first time using admixr in R and I'm getting below error,

enough!

Error: The output file we got from ADMIXTOOLS is truncated.
       Please examine the full output above and check for errors. 

My objective is to investigate introgression in insect mt-DNA. Therefore I took 116 insect's mitochondrial protein coding genes, aligned and concatenated all the genes. Then I created a VCF file using snp-site tool, after that I converted it to EIGENSTRAT format by convertVCFtoEigenstrat.sh of Joana Meier. Now I'm implementing admixr but facing the above problem when I tried to estimate D-statistics.

prefix <- "/media/imdeb/Elements/2nd/Sequence/ABBATest/Admix/x/x11/x11_snpS"
snps <- eigenstrat(prefix)

pops <- c("Blepharipa","S_variegat","P_vanderpl","A_gambie","E_flavipal","D_mauritia")
result_D <- d(W = pops, X = "D_melanoga", Y = "E_sorbilla", Z = "B_mori", data = snps)

Kindly let me know how can I overcome this issue. As I understand either I need to increase number of blocks of decrease the size of of the blocks. So this is a humble request that please let me know how to do this.

Thank you,
Debajyoti

I'm guessing you have non-human organisms 1. Make sure you specify # autosomes ((if more than 22) numchrom: 2. If you have "contigs" use blockname: -- described in the documentation to specify the snp blocks. With so few snps you can't expect tight standard errors., Nick

Dear Sir,

Thank you very much for your kind suggestions. I managed to run program after following the response of @Marvin02860 at [https://github.com//issues/54] .

Thanking you,
Debajyoti
