Dear all list members,
 
I´m trying to use glmmADMB package to analize my count data in interactions between adult and subadult lizards. I have repeated measures zero inflated count data from videotaped interactions of different durations, so I´m trying to use glmmADMB with an offset variable (recording time), but it doesn't seem like working. I keep finding this error message with any of the models including the offset: 
 
> model<-glmmadmb(interactions~treatment*sex.sub*sex.adult+svl+offset(recording.time)+(1|id.adult), zeroInflation=TRUE, family="poisson")
Error in glmmadmb(interactions~ treatment * sex.sub * sex.adult +  : 
  The function maximizer failed (couldn't find STD file)
In adition: Warning message: running command 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c "C:/Archivos de programa/R/R-2.15.1/library/glmmADMB/bin/windows32/glmmadmb.exe" -maxfn 500 -maxph 5 -noinit -shess' has status 1 

Also if I try to fit the model to the negative binomial type 1, even without the offset, I have the same error message: 
 
> model1<-glmmadmb(interactions~treatment*sex.sub*sex.adult+svl+recording.time+(1|id.adult), zeroInflation=TRUE, family="nbinom1")
Error in glmmadmb(interactions~ treatment * sex.sub * sex.adult +  : 
  The function maximizer failed (couldn't find STD file)
In adition: Warning message: running command 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c "C:/Archivos de programa/R/R-2.15.1/library/glmmADMB/bin/windows32/glmmadmb.exe" -maxfn 500 -maxph 5 -noinit -shess' has status 1 

I'm ussing R2.15.1 and glmmADMB v0.7.2.12, all this in windows XP 32bits. 
 
I hope I have given all the neccesary info and someone can help me with this, thank you in advance,
