LightGBM error

[ajing]

I got the following error when using lightGBM:

Exception in thread "Thread-376" java.lang.IllegalStateException:  failed to create LIGHTgbm subprocess with config name ~/models/fjufcncb20qtl7f7ehcpm5b6tn0.conf

However, if I run lightgbm with the config file, it seems to be fine.

./lightgbm config=~/models/fjufcncb20qtl7f7ehcpm5b6tn0.conf task=train
[LightGBM] [Warning] Unknown parameter in config file: categorical_feature=
[LightGBM] [Warning] Stopped training because there are no more leaves that meet the split requirements.

And I can see some output in the model file after I run with lightgbm only:

It seems that for some reason StackNet is not able to find the executable. Is the lib/ folder in the same directory where the StackNet.jar file is?

[ajing]

You are right. I use relative path for StackNet.jar (e.g. java -Xmx4048m -jar ~/Libaries/StackNet/StackNet.jar). It works OK, if I run the program in the StackNet.jar folder.

Thanks!

Same issue raised when i am tring to run this example StackNet/example/zillow_regression_sparse/. I am running StackNet on my server that I don't have root permission.

well i ran into this problem as well for me the problem was in path ,the path SHOULD NOT contain any space

work for me
