Error in SILMIN file input procedure

[Renqiang Liao]

Hello everyone,
 Alphamelts-app-2.3.1-linux has been intalled in my laptop (win 64). Its main window can be normally opened on my Linux system, and then, following the prompts, I selected the "rhyolite-melts" model that was appropriate for my samples. However, when I proceeded to the next step to read the composition file (.melts), an error was displayed. Below is the exact message that appeared.

alphaMELTS main menu (enter 'x' when done):
 1. Read MELTS file to set composition and system properties
 2. Twiddle starting or continuation parameters
 3. Single (batch) calculation
 4. Execute (follow path, mineral isograd or melt contour)
 5. Set fO2 buffer
 6. Set H2O (ppm) or aH2O
 7. Impose isenthalpic, isentropic or isochoric conditions
 8. Adjust solid phase settings (including fractionation)
 9. Adjust liquid or fluid settings (including melt extraction)
10. Turn phase diagram mode on / off (includes wet liquidus)
11. Turn geothermal, grid or PT-path file mode on / off
12. Source mixer / Remixer (includes AFC and flux melting)
13. Update system properties, or I/O settings
14. Write out one or more MELTS files
15. Write thermodynamic output for all phases
16. Calculate integrated melt and output file(s)
17. Fit parental melt composition with amoeba
-1. Turn off menu display for options 1-17
 X. QUIT
Your choice: 1
MELTS filename: my_simulation.melts
Error during input file read, offending record: sio2 51.76

 So how can I fix it?
