BIRDSUITE error ["could not open 'GenomeWideSNP_6.birdsuite_probelist' to read".]

[soulsacross]

Hi folks,

I'm currently trying to use Birdsuite (http://www.broadinstitute.org/scienc...te/birdsuite-0) for CNV/SNP analysis and after installing it, I try to run like this:

[CODE]

/home/pedro/Desktop/BIRDSUITE/EXEDIR/birdsuite.sh --basename=AVC --chipType=GenomeWideSNP_6 --outputDir=output --genderFile=AVC.gender --celFiles=AVC.cel --noLsf --apt_probeset_summarize.force --exeDir=/home/pedro/Desktop/BIRDSUITE/EXEDIR --metadataDir=/home/pedro/Desktop/BIRDSUITE/EXEDIR/METADATADIR/

[\CODE]

But I am getting this message of error:

Since there is no reference to that "GenomeWideSNP_6.birdsuite_probelist" in the software documentation, I believe that it should be created by the command above itself. Is there anyone who have used this software, and if not, who have the slightest clue what is going on? I a newbie in bioinformatics, so I apologize if that's too trivial.

Thanks,

Pedro.
