Did you read the help page for 'outer'?
?outer
It says
'FUN' is called with these two extended vectors as arguments.
Therefore, it must be a vectorized function (or the name of one),
expecting at least two arguments.
I don't think your logl function is vectorized according to your summary
of what you did.
