Velveth help

[Naina]

I ran ~/mypath/velveth Assem 21 -shortPaired -fastq -separate clean_1.fq clean_2.fq

and got:

velveth: Can't malloc 181 chars: Cannot allocate memory
Aborted (core dumped)

I clearly have RAM and 1.2TB of space available.

What can I do? Thanks in advance

UPDATE: it worked by itself after awhile

however when I tried velvetg for the first time, I got seg fault (core dumped)

UPDATE: now I'm getting killed

You may be running out of memory. How much do you have, and how much is the program using (you can see this with the command 'top' while it is running).
