RepeatScout and RepeatModeler error

[zhanghao]

I want to use RepeatScout working for RepeatModeler to search for repeats. When I installed RepeatScout, I used "make" command according to README. But it is showed many warning beleow:
bac@bac-X10DAi:~/RepeatScout-1$ make

I try to test it with example:
./build_lmer_table -l 14 -sequence human3M.fa -freq test.freq
./RepeatScout -sequence human3M.fa -output test1 -freq test.freq -l 14
It showed "Program duration is 22.0 sec = 0.4 min = 0.0 hr" no other information. And I can find the output file test1 with 165 sequences.

However, in RepeatModeler, it failed "NOTE: RepeatScout did not return any models". and in round 1, the file sampleDB-1.fa.rscons.filtered is empty.

I do not know what wrong with it.

Hey,
First, when you make and it throws out warnings like unused-value, it doesn't mean that it automatically doesn't work (it can be). Sometimes these are warnings because some of the dependencies of the program are newer or older than the ones around which it was built, and thus maybe certain variables become deprecated but it still tries to declare them. At the end of the compiling script there is a block to check which variables are declared but not used, so here is why the warning. It is good to pay attention to this, though, because sometimes it might brake something. For what concerns RepeatScout, I guess the problem is more in your input files than in the compiling process.

May I ask you what are you providing, and to paste here the command you ran?

I have same errors!
Even though there are not any errors, the consensi.fa file is empty
Did you solve them?
