Dear All,
I need your help, using OpenMx for CFA (non normal data). Now, I am very enjoy with OpenMx than the other SEM-Software.
Thank you very much

Is it ordinal data, or what? OpenMx does not have built-in functionality for Poisson variables or all possible non-normal variables; it does for ordinal data. Here's link to an ordinal factor analysis from the User's Guide.
