<div dir="ltr">Hi Ketan,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm not sure if you remember, but myself and my research advisor Xiaosheng spoke to you at LBL in Oakland at the beginning of the summer about starting to use Swift at our school. We have been working hard on setting it up, and I am trying to
get your demo to run but I'm having a problem. For some reason I keep getting the following error when I try to run your catsnsleep demo:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div><font face="courier new, monospace">Execution failed:</font></div>

<div><font face="courier new, monospace">Caused by:</font></div>

</font></div>
<div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">However I'm not sure why. In our tc.data file we have the line:</font></div>

</font></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>which I think should work but obviously something is going wrong. I have been browsing the documentation articles but I can't find anything about why this might be happening. We would greatly appreciate your advice!</div>
