When I put "control=list(trace=TRUE)" as an option in "optim", I just got the initial and final values of the loglikelihood, number of iterations and whether the routine has converged or not. I need to know the estimate values at each iteration.

It might help if you actually _read_ the description of the trace 
control parameter (hint: it is not an on/off switch) in ?optim... And, 
as it says, this is method dependent, so you may have to study the 
source code.
