Seqclean indexing problem

[Yanda]

I downloaded Seqcleanx86_64. I want to remove contaminants from a powdery mildew DNA sequence data using databases I created using makeblast. I use Mac operating system. I tried running the following command line:

$ Vperl ~/bin/seqclean-x86_64/seqclean LA_Run18_R1.fa -s /Volumes/Data_2/Sandile/raw_data/cont_db/bgh -o LA_Run18_R1clean1 -N -A

The terminal output recorded the following error:

Process terminated with an error!
seqclean (LA_Run18_R1.fa) encountered an error.
Working directory was /Volumes/Data_2/Sandile/raw_data
seqclean (LA_Run18_R1.fa) encountered an error.

I am beginner level at bioinformatics, hence may not have phrased my question properly. Please advise on the probable cause of this error and ways to overcome it.

I've had the same problem. It's unclear to me if SeqClean can actually run on a Mac - does anybody know this? Since the download appears to be already compiled - I'm assuming it is compiled for Linux and not Mac - hence I've run into the same problems and can't seem to get it to work on my Mac.
