ERROR: run_busco2 failed, return code: 127

I am trying to run the purge_dups pipeline using run_purge_dups.py but for some reason I keep getting this error:

I used this command to make the config file:
python3 scripts/pd_config.py -l sample_combHIFIASM -n sample_combHIFIASM_purgeDUPS_config.json /Users/rimo/data/Saccharomyces_cerevisiae_OG.fasta sample_combinedHIFIASM.fofn

and this command to run the pipeline:
python3 scripts/run_purge_dups.py -p bash sample_combHIFIASM_purgeDUPS_config.json src sample_combHIFIASM

I traced where purge_dups calls BUSCO in the run_busco.py script and it should be using version 3.0.2 from quast_libs.busco import busco which you can verify here: https://github.com/ablab/quast/blob/master/quast_libs/busco/_version.py

Can someone please explain why this is happening and a solution to get this to run?

Hello,

Did you find a solution?

I'm having the same problem:
"command run_busco2 sample.purged.fa 12 sample busco_tmp failed, return code: 127"
