Hello Gerald, Thanks for providing the console log output, it's helpful. The aligner appears to have exited with the error right at the end of the alignment process. It's possible that it has actually finished all of the work and the output files exist, but there was some problem arising when the program deallocated memory and resources as it shut down. Can you check whether the genome alignment file "alignment1" is non-empty and if so whether it can be opened by the Mauve viewer?
If the alignment file is empty it's possible that the aligner ran out of memory at the final stage of alignment. It appears that your run used the 32-bit version of progressiveMauve, which is limited to using 2GB of RAM. Can you try using the 64-bit version of the aligner? One way to do so is by installing a 64-bit Java VM then (re)installing Mauve. For testing it might be easier to just do it from the command line: win64\progressiveMauve --output=C:\Users\glackner\Docs\alignment1 \alignment1 --output-guide-tree=C:\Users\glackner\Docs\alignment1 \alignment1.guide_tree --backbone-output=C:\Users\glackner\Docs \alignment1\alignment1.backbone C:\Users\glackner\Docs\alignment1 \bla1.gbk C:\Users\glackner\Docs\alignment1\bla2.gbk The 64-bit version of progressiveMauve is located in the win64 subdirectory in the Mauve 2.3.1 folder, within the C:\Program Files (x86) or wherever else you may have chosen to install it. Hope that helps, -Aaron On Thu, 2014-04-24 at 17:01 +1000, Lackner Gerald wrote: > Hi there, > > > > I am unable to run Mauve 2.3.1 since it always exits with error code > 3.
