Can you please try to import the model that's shipped with the
distribution in GME/CoSMIC, and try generating the descriptors from
that? The reason I ask is that because we know that one works, so you
might've made some mistake in your own model. A more descriptive error
message would be helpful nontheless.

Actually, the tutorial does. Look into
$CIAO_ROOT/tutorials\Quoter\Simple\01.html

What the tutorial doesn't talk about is doing this MPC stuff in CoSMIC.

The movie is quite old. MPC has nothing to do at all with anything
you're doing with CoSMIC. You can still generate discriptors without
needing MPC. MPC is just for generating makefiles.

After the modeling is done, all you need to do is click on the
interpreter to generate the required descriptors for you. You need not
worry about the discriptors at all. By the way, before you generated the
discriptors, have you done a check on your model (from GME, click on
File->Check->CheckALL) to see if you have a problem in your model.
