"the function mle failed to estimate the parameters with the error code 100"

I am working with the R programming language.

Suppose I have the following data:

I placed the above data into a data frame called "d" and called the variable containing the data as "df". I want to try and fit several probability distributions to this data:

library(fitdistrplus)
library(patchwork)
library(ggplot2)



 fg <- fitdist(d$df, "gamma")
 fln <- fitdist(d$df, "lnorm")
fg <- fitdist(d$df, "gamma")
 fw <- fitdist(d$df, "weibull")

 par(mfrow = c(2, 2))
 plot.legend <- c("Weibull", "lognormal", "gamma")

a <- denscomp(list(fw, fln, fg), legendtext = plot.legend, plotstyle = "ggplot")
b <- qqcomp(list(fw, fln, fg), legendtext = plot.legend, plotstyle = "ggplot")
c <- cdfcomp(list(fw, fln, fg), legendtext = plot.legend, plotstyle = "ggplot")
d <- ppcomp(list(fw, fln, fg), legendtext = plot.legend, plotstyle = "ggplot")

a+b+c+d

But this returns the following errors:

<simpleError in optim(par = vstart, fn = fnobj, fix.arg = fix.arg, obs = data,     gr = gradient, ddistnam = ddistname, hessian = TRUE, method = meth,     lower = lower, upper = upper, ...): non-finite finite-difference value [2]>
Error in fitdist(d$df, "gamma") : 
  the function mle failed to estimate the parameters, 
                with the error code 100

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Can someone please show me how to fix this error?

Thanks!

A google search on your error message gave me among others this entry .
If you expect an answer based on your data, then provide your data in a way that is easy to copy in our own R environment. See whats-a-reproducible-example-reprex-and-how-do-i-do-one
