Trying to run lm_1b; ParseError: 1:1 : Expected identifier or number, got <

Running Python 3.6.4 on Windows

Describe the problem

I'm trying to run lm_1b on sample mode, by inputting:

$ bazel-bin/lm_1b/lm_1b_eval --mode sample --prefix "I love that I" --pbtxt data/vocab-2016-09-10.txt --vocab_file data/vocab-2016-09-10.txt --ckpt 'data/ckpt-*'

But I get the error:

google.protobuf.text_format.ParseError: 1:1 : Expected identifier or number, got <.
Any help would really be appreciated
