-f a -x bootstrapping prompted error

[Marco Mancuso]

Hello,

I'm trying to run a ML analysis on my MacBook Pro (MacOS Monterey 12.7.1. 2,7 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5) in RAxML on the latest version available at https://github.com/stamatak/standard-RAxML.

I was trying to run the following code: "/path/to/raxmlHPC-AVX2 -f a -x 482094802945 -# 10000 -J MR -m GTRGAMMAI -o outgroup_taxon -s data.fasta -n results_ML -p 482094802945 -q partitions.txt", but RAxML always prompts the error "The file  you want to open for reading does not exist, exiting ..." when the -f a - x 482094802945 option is specified. Otherwise, the program reads the rest of my data properly. What could the issue be? Otherwise it runs properly.

Best regards,

Marco.

I think the problem might be an extra space or invalid character you
might have added somewhere, e.g.,

-f a - x 482094802945

the s[pace between - and x will cause an issue.

Also, please consider switching to the new version of RAxML:
