MEME local instance

Hello,

I installed the MEME 4.10.0 suite on my Mac OS 10.6.

When I run meme I get this error :

Cannot open file '/Volumes/BioSan/opt/meme-4.10.0/meme/etc/template.eps'

(line: 1057, file: ceqlogo.c)

I checked ceqlogo, it works when used alone, and I changed the rights for the template.eps file and I get the same error.

Do you have an idea ?

Thanks a lot

Stefanie

The line of code referenced is opening the file for reading so no surprises there at least (I thought it might be asking for read/write access but it doesn't).

I am guessing you installed with sudo? I know you've already changed the file permissions for template.eps but I'd suggest giving read access on all the installed files by using a recursive chmod. Maybe it's something to do with the folder permissions? I've never fully understood the linux/Mac OS permission system so this is just a guess.
sudo chmod -R a+r /Volumes/BioSan/opt/meme-4.10.0

Internally MEME uses the ceqlogo code but it accesses it directly through a library rather than actually running ceqlogo - still I'm not sure why ceqlogo would work and MEME wont. Just for a test have you tried running meme with sudo to see if it will run?

Hi,

I tried to run in sudo mode and get a segmentation fault !

I don't know what is wrong with the install.

If I find out I let you know.

Thanks

Hi,

I erased all meme installation files and links on my computer and run again the install from the 4.9.1 version.

I changed the rights of the meme folder like you said and run the installation in sudo mode. Changed again the rights of the resulting meme folder to 777. And it works !
