[MUMmer-help] ERROR: mummer and/or mgaps returned non-zero

[Ramesh k. R. <ram...@gm...>]

Hi everyone,
I'm consistently getting following error while running both nucmer and
mummer.

$ nucmer -maxmatch -c 100 -p nucmer ../reference.fasta ../query.fa
1: PREPARING DATA
2,3: RUNNING mummer AND CREATING CLUSTERS
# reading input file "nucmer.ntref" of length 712946597
# construct suffix tree for sequence of length 712946597
# (maximum reference length is 536870908)
# (maximum query length is 4294967295)
# process 7129465 characters per dot
/usr/bin/mummer: suffix tree construction failed: textlen=712946597 larger
than maximal textlen=536870908
ERROR: mummer and/or mgaps returned non-zero

To test myself, I simply pulled out few contigs from the reference genome
and used as query sequence. Unfortunately, I'm still running into the same
error.

I appreciate any kind of help.

Thanks
Ramesh
