Hi all - I am starting on a metegenomics project, and I would like to be able to run the "poor man's BLASTX", or PAUDA. I have installed the program following the instructions provided in the README file with the software, but I keep getting an error message. I do have the prerequisite software installed (Bowtie2 and Java runtime environment 1.6 or higher). I also have set the environment variables PAUDA_INDEX_DIR and PAUDA_TMP_DIR as described in the Readme. If I type "env" on the command line these variables are set as they should be.
When I run the following in the .../pauda/bin directory:
./pauda_build nr
where nr is a protein database in FASTA format in the same directory, I get the error message:
Error: PAUDA index directory "/dev/shm" already exists.
Please remove existing directory or specify another location
If I specify another directory I just keep getting the same error message. What am I doing wrong? Is there anyone who routinely runs this software that could provide some ideas as to what I have set incorrectly?
Thanks!
