STDERR=zcat: can't stat: error on a MacOSX computer #205

Open DebbieCG opened 3 years ago

The chip-set-pipeline2 fails because the pipeline is unable to merge the fastq.gz files using cat. I have run it several times - on my Mac desktop and the pipeline always fails at the same point. I am a bit of a newbie at this type of analysis and am using

a Mac OS Big Sur with conda 4.9.2 Pipeline version v1.6.1 (download da few days ago) with caper 1.4.2

I tried adding coreutils to my path, /usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin but that didn't work either.

Is there a relatively simple workaround for the zcat function that I can utilise to allow me to use the pipeline?

Many thanks,

Debbie
