Issues with CASAVA 1.8.1

[GenoMax]

Can you be more specific about what problem you are encountering?

Are you getting the same error as the original poster? Do you have access to the *entire* flowcell folder?

was this issue ever resolved, if so how? - I have the same problem in in v1.8.2

So far as I know, yes.
Ah, I think I found the problem: I get an "Error:<Date> <Time>: No such file or directory: /<path>/BclReader.cpp". I'll figure it out by myself, thank you.

The BCL to fastq converter is supposed to figure out which type of position file it looks for based on the RTA version.

Do you have access to the entire flowcell data folder for this run?

I am having some trouble with the Bcl to FastQ conversion in CASAVA 1.8.1. I imagine it might be a very stupid question (mostly because I couldn't find any trace of it being asked around the web), but how do I use the position files? When I give the command "make" (after making the "SampleSheet" and "make" files), it doesn't return the FastQ files, but instead returns the repeated error "failed to read position from pos file <path to _pos.txt file>". I know CASAVA can also use .locs and .clocs, but those are the _pos.txt appear on my computer already, so I thought of using them in the configureBclToFastq.pl, but for some reason it goes wrong there. Can anyone help me with this?
