Hi,

I have downloaded the latest version of bedGraphToBigWig (Linux
64-bit) but was not able to get it working properly (after spending
quite some time).  Here is a small example of what I did:

First I created a small bedGraph file "cerebellum_coverage_small.wig"
at <http://www.psi.toronto.edu/~ljlee/UCSC/> and it displayed properly
in the genome browser.  After removing the first line and rename it as
"cerebellum_coverage_small.bedGraph", I ran

"bedGraphToBigWig cerebellum_coverage_small.bedGraph hg19.chrom.sizes
cerebellum_coverage_small.bw"

and it completed successfully.  However, when I try to add a custom
track with the following track line:

"track type=bigWig name="Cerebellum_cover" description="Read coverage
in Cerebellum" color=255,0,0
bigDataUrl=http://www.psi.toronto.edu/~ljlee/UCSC/cerebellum_coverage_small.bw";,

I got the following error message:

"Error udc couldn't read 8 bytes from
http://www.psi.toronto.edu/~ljlee/UCSC/cerebellum_coverage_small.bw,
did read 0"

It seems that the genome browser is having trouble reading the file
but I can access it perfectly from the Internet (all files in this
example are available at http://www.psi.toronto.edu/~ljlee/UCSC/).
Could somebody help me to take a look please?  BTW, I also tried
running bedGraphToBigWig on the compressed version of the file but I
got the following message:

Success
Can't lineFileSeek on a compressed file: cerebellum_coverage_small.bedGraph.gz

and the resulting .bw file is essentially empty.  Hopefully I didn't
do anything too stupid...  Thanks a lot for your help!
