Plink (1.07 and 1.09) runs and stops after reading map

Question

[davidenoma]

I am experiencing challenges running

 plink --bfile Ghana_Prostate_1 --missing --noweb

The command starts running and stops abruptly after giving the output

Reading map (extended format) from [ Ghana_Prostate_1.bim ]

I have checked the log files and it gives me the same error. It gives the output for a few seconds. It runs fine on the test data provided with plink. Any ideas?

Do you have the file .imiss in your working directory?

That output is only produced by plink 1.07. Your question implies that you have run with plink 1.90, but you haven't posted the different .log output it produces; please post its full .log/console output. (You can run with the --debug flag to force each .log line to be written to disk immediately.)
