BWA error

[jyli]

Dear all

I am having a very weird error when trying to build the BWA index for hg18 genome (masked). Do you have any experiences or idea? Thanks.


[jyli@lbg-comp3 maskedHG18]$ bwa index hg18Masked.fa
[bwa_index] Pack FASTA... 64.72 sec
[bwa_index] Reverse the packed sequence... 16.23 sec
[bwa_index] Construct BWT for the packed sequence...
Segmentation fault

Try it with "-a bwtsw". If you read the help message after typing in "bwa index", you will see why!
