Python error? OSError: [Errno 17] File exists:

[Matt G]

Running macs14 and got through most of the process including BEDgraph generation then received the following error (parameters included below). Any ideas?

MACS called as follows:
$macs14 -t ChIP.sam -c gDNA_control.sam -n peaks1 -f SAM -g hs -m 5,30 -w -B --verbose 3

I got the same error. Did you find a solution to this problem?

Matt and Jelle,

To remove the existing folder 'peaks1_MACS_bedGraph/' will solve this problem.

Best,

to clarify this. after removing the folder and running MACS again it gives a different error. It cant seem to find the R script that MACS creates. 

I used the options: -B, -S and -w.
