SEM model run error
1 This is not a mac question 2 You haven?t said what package you?re using 3. It is highly unlikely that the correct format is rtf. The main SEM packages in R are OpenMx, SEM, and lavaan. They all have tutorial pdfs, and examples of working models

but get the error message:
Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, :

Any thoughts on why it's not working? Also if you know of any good SEM tutorials online?
Many thanks
