[maker-devel] Error running MAKER

To use less RAM, try lowering max_dna_len=, setting blast_depth= parameters to 20 pr 30 in maker_bopts.ctl (default is limitless), or when using MPI, starting fewer processes per node (requires manipulation of hostfile or using round robin distribution flag for MPI flavors where it is available).

The memory issue could be causing the lock failure as well.

If you kept the whole STDERR, I can help you look through it.  searching for “ERROR” all caps is usually where you will see it. Also MAKER keeps a log of progress, so even on failure, you can just restart it and it will pick up the analysis from the last successful step.
