Hello, The file that you downloaded is already executable.
First of all, test to see if using one of our test files (.wg format) causes the command work or fail. http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/wiggle.html Other places to troubleshoot: 1) the computer you are using is not a linux.x86_64 machine 2) the version of the executable is corrupted. Are you able to just type in the command and get back the usage statement? If not, download a fresh copy. 3) your environment does not have the correct libraries or variables set. Confirm that the kent source tree is set up correctly (including ENV vars in your shell file). 4) there is a problem in one of the input files. Double check the formats. Confirm that the .wq and the chrom sizes are from the same genome (ex: h18) Start with these and see what happens. If you continue to have problems, send a small portion of your input file (that demonstrates the problem), note the database that you believe the file is from (and that it is the same database chrom sizes is based on), a copy of the unix lines where the failure is (showing the executed statement and error), and I can double check to see if it works here. If it works, that would narrow down the problem to be not based on file format, but something wrong with the unix environment. If it does not work, I can help to find our where the file problem is. Please send any sample data (small sample, not complete file) back to me directly, Jennifer ------------------------------------------------ Jennifer Jackson UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group ----- "Ali M.
