I have been trying to replicate the results of example 13.5 about a latent class model for ranking, presented in the book Generalized Latent Variable Modeling. For results presented on p.407, I can run GLLAMM to reproduce the location parameters, but cannot obtain information about their corresponding SE. Anybody knows how to get the SE for the model via GLLAMM? many thanks!

13.5 Post-materialism: A latent class model for rankings
In ‘The Silent Revolution’ Inglehart (1977) contended that a transformation was taking place in the political cultures of advanced industrial societies.Materialist goals of economic and national security were fading from people’s basic value priorities. In their wake was a growing wave of post-materialist values - values which emphasize such goals as protecting the freedom of speech
and giving people more say in important political decisions. With this change in values, the theory continues, came changes in the salient political issues, changes in political cleavages and changes in political participation.
Inglehart argued that post-materialism is best measured by asking respondents to rank materialistic and post-materialistic values (instead of using for instance rating scales). In the eight nation survey conducted in 1974/1975 (Wieken-Mayser et al., 1979; see also Barnes et al., 1979), also analyzed in Section 10.3, respondents were therefore asked to rank the following four political
values according to their desirability:
1. [Order] maintain order in the nation
2. [Say] give people more say in decisions of the government
3. [Prices] fight rising prices
