TE-tracker: cannot use slclust

[xiao]

Hi, everyone!

I recently want to use TE-Tracker (http://www.genoscope.cns.fr/externe/tetracker/) to identify transposon , But when I run leto.pl, somethings is wrong!

The key of error is the 219 lines of leto.pl :

`$SLC -i $dir/$file -o $OUTPUT_DIR/$file.clustered -l $x_lim -n $y_lim -m $min_pair -t 0 -r $read_length`



I think author want to use a programe named 'slclust' to deal with data, But 'slclust' that download from 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/slclust/' cannot run as this command, it only have a argument '-j';
why? and what i should do to solve this problem?

Thanks!

I asked the developers the same question back in February ([email protected]). The slclust used is not the sourceforge one, it is their own program.

They sent me a copy, so perhaps you could email them as well. Hopefully they will add it to the downloadable tarball.

I email them ,but no reply . So, can you forward the email to me (qiwang1993 at gmail.com). Thanks, dgscofield.

No, I'm sorry I can't send it to you. You can see for yourself that the software includes no explicit license file nor license within any of the source files, so neither I nor other users have been given permission to redistribute the software as is common with many licenses including GPL. Additionally, the "official" distribution site is still available.

The email of the user who sent me slclust is [email protected].

OK! Thank you very much ! I'll write another letter to [email protected] !
Best wishes!
