Issues with Evigan as combiner of gene models

[wrch]

Hi,
I want to run Evigan to combine two gene prediction models from a whole genome sequencing project.I have downloaded the software and installed it by the 'make all' command as mentioned.But problems occurred during the test run with the ''run_gff2txt3.pl" script.Several error messages appear e.g. 1)Bareword found where operator expected at run_gff2txt3.pl line 11, near "*
2)syntax error at run_gff2txt3.pl line 10 near "* and in the last line
3)execution of run_gff2txt3.pl aborted due to compilation errors
I don't know what to do .please help.
again plz let me know what are the prerequisite to run Evigan.

Hi,
I have also faced the same issue while running run_gff2txt3.pl script, the solution is to remove all the texts (in the top of run_gff2txt3.pl file) in the comments and run it again. this will resolve your problem

run_gff2txt3.pl file should start like this below

#!/usr/perl -w

if(scalar @ARGV!=3)
{
print "usage: $0 seqnames.config sources.config dst_dir\n";
exit;
}

my ($seqnames,$sources,$dst_dir)=@ARGV;

open IN,$seqnames or die $!;

open IN_SOURCES,$sources or die $!;
my @sources_array = <IN_SOURCES>;
close IN_SOURCES;
