Wierd MACS error

RockChalkJayhawk · 08-31-2009, 06:53 AM

Hey all,

I am trying to install MACS, but I get this error:
$ python setup.py install
/usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/dist.py:266: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'console'
warnings.warn(msg)
/usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/dist.py:266: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'app'

Writing /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/MACS-1.3.6.1.egg-info

Then when I try to run MACS, I only get the help screen.

I am running 64-bit Ubuntu (jaunty) on a dual core AMDx64 with 4GB memory.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

These are only py2.6 warnings, no errors... MACS should be running fine.

Well, that's exactly how MACS works! :-)
No options -> help printed
You will need to specify your options to get some results (i.e. at least the "treatment" file).

I did give it options
~/Desktop/MACS$ macs s_7_output.bed --wig

The bed file is in the MACS directory

you need to specify the treatment with the -t option, i.e.

Code:

macs -t s_7_output.bed
