gcta 1.24 runtime error

Hi,

I am running gcta 1.24 on PLINK imputed data. I want to calculated GRMs (in gz format) for each of the chromosomes but it runs into an error. The details are at the end of the post. I also tried to run windows version which also runs into an error.

I will really appreciate any help.

Best regards,
Kaustubh
