what's this error?

[sdpapet]

When I try to run beta_diversity.py, I always got this error

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/core/fromnumeric.py:2507: VisibleDeprecationWarning: `rank` is deprecated; use the `ndim` attribute or function instead. To find the rank of a matrix see `numpy.linalg.matrix_rank`.

  VisibleDeprecationWarning)

I don't know what it is? I am using Qiime 1.9.1 through virtual box.

Thanks,

Hi, 

Please see this previous question on the forum: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qiime-forum/_6_ZZjPzfZo/REMnQtrSDAAJ , excerpted below:

When you run core_diversity_analyses.py, you receive two warnings. These are warnings (not errors) tell the devs to update our code. You can safely ignore them.

These warnings come from the python packages numpy and matplotlib, which are totally unrelated to sortmerna and sumaclust.

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/core/fromnumeric.py:2645: VisibleDeprecationWarning: `rank` is deprecated; use the `ndim` attribute or function instead. To find the rank of a matrix see `numpy.linalg.matrix_rank`.
  VisibleDeprecationWarning)

Since this is a warning, rather than an error, it should not prevent the code from running.

Best,

Amanda
