SOAPddenovo v1.05 error-Cannot open output_prefix.kmerFreq.

You don't have admin rights or something

Hi Laura

I actually had this same problem today!
It's because I did not have administrator's rights to the folder that I wanted to save my output (-o) file in!
As soon as I changed my output file location, and tried again, the run worked just fine.

Hope this helps!
Have fun

Hello,

We are using SOAPdenovov1.05 on paired end 36bp Illumina reads with this command:
[s0977659@ris-lx03 bin]$ ./SOAPdenovo-31mer all -p 4 -s /LBEP/Laura/JUNE_2012/14_june_2012/SOAPdenovo_140612/Inputs/AB10.config -o AB10

The Error I get is:
Cannot open AB10.kmerFreq. Now exit to system...

Prior to this output looks ok:

I am new to SOAPdenvo, but has anyone had similar problems?

Thanks,
