  • error from SOAPdenovo

    When I tried to run SOAPdenovo with a command "./SOAPdenovo all -s SB1.config -K 25 -o output", I received an error message of "-bash: ./SOAPdenovo: No such file or directory".

    Why?



    This is the content of SB1.config.

    #maximal read length
    # Lines start with '#' are ignored by the assembler
    max_rd_len=50
    [LIB]
    avg_ins=2000
    reverse_seq=1
    asm_flags=2
    rank=2
    # cutoff of pair number for a reliable connection
    #(default 5 for large insert size)
    pair_num_cutoff=5
    #minimal mapped length to contigs for a reliable read location
    #(default 35 for large insert size)
    map_len=35
    q1=/Users/Steve/bin/SOAPdenovo_1.03/SB_short.fastq

    Well, er, the obvious question first - is SOAPdenovo in your current directory?

    Confirm with ls -l SOAPdenovo

    If not you will need to refer to it by the complete path, i.e. /Users/Steve/path/to/SOAPdenovo

    Secondly, check the execute permissions are set, e.g. chmod 755 SOAPdenovo

    Hope that helps

      I tried all 3 things you suggested. But still getting the same error message, cannot execute binary file.

      Any other suggestions?

        Make sure you have downloaded the right binary for your system, check uname -a & uname -p to see. If running on Linux make sure you got the correct 32 or 64-bit versions.

          The problem is simply that there is no such file or directory.

          Otherwise this would happen:

          seb@fault:~/software/SOAPdenovo-PPC$ file SOAPdenovo-31mer
          SOAPdenovo-31mer: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped

          seb@fault:~/software/SOAPdenovo-PPC$ uname -m
          i686

          seb@fault:~/software/SOAPdenovo-PPC$ ./SOAPdenovo-31mer
          bash: ./SOAPdenovo-31mer: cannot execute binary file

            Seb makes a good point.

            Can you go into the directory you wish to execute SOAPdenovo from and paste the output of the following commands to this thread:

            ls -l

            uname -a

            uname -m

            file SOAPdenovo

              I checked my Mac. My Mac is 10.6.3. It seems eligible for the newest release 1.05, which requires Mac OS X, 10.6.5 or later.

              Thus, I downloaded Release 1.04 for Mac OS X (64 bit version, above 10.5). However, when I tried to extracted the file with this command:
              tar -zxvf SOAPdenovo-v1.04-macos-64.tgz

              However, I received this error during the process.

              grape_mac_64
              tar: A lone zero block at 521


              I also tried Mac OS X (32 bit version, above 10.5) and had similar error.

              grape_mac_32
              tar: A lone zero block at 574

              How to I fix this issue? Thanks.

                Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
                by seqadmin


                Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
