Error while running kSNP4
kSNP4 does SNP discovery and SNP annotation from whole genomes

Hello there,
I am facing a problem while trying to run kSNP4. I am using the following command:
kSNP4 -k 11 -outdir kSNP_output/ -in input_for_kSNP.in -vcf -NJ -core -ML -CPU 50
The program reaches
(2/10) Running jellyfish to get kmer counts
for few seconds and it stops. It is throwing the following error:DEBUG:Waiting for dumpers and frequency checkers to finish Traceback (most recent call last): File "inline_frequency_check.py", line 97, in <module> File "inline_frequency_check.py", line 79, in getMinKmerCoverage File "statistics.py", line 311, in mean TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable
Any idea what is going on?
Thank you in advance!

File names may contain only A-Z a-Z 0-1 _ and - characters. Your output file name kSNP_output/ contains the / character.
Try getting rid of the / character.

Dear Barry,
I tried to run it again without the backslash and it did not work.
Please email me directly at the address in the “Troubleshooting kSNP4.1 (or kSNP4)” document that was included in the package you downloaded. Answer All of the questions in that document or I will ignore your request for support.
