Hi,
I'm not a contributor, but I'm a member of MIT's Venture team. I'm trying to do some comparisons of BLOG and Venture on open-universe problems. I'm using the latest version of BLOG downloaded from the GitHub website. When I download the pre-build version, unzip the directory and enter, I get the following error:
(dw)$ bin/blog example/poisson-ball.blog -s blog.sample.RejectionSampler

The default likelihood-weighting sampler runs with no problem, and the rejection sampler seemed to work ok with a couple other examples I tried. Is there any reason rejection sampling doesn't work well with the poisson ball example in particular?
