I had quotation marks when I was using both Tophat and cufflinks, but I didn't get an error
Hi
I am trying to run cuffmerge in Linux mint directly from the program script instead of installing, since I cannot figure out how to install the correct version on Linux mint (./cuffmerge .. ..). When I sudo apt-get install cuffmerge, I get a very outdated version, so this is my fix, which has worked with cufflinks (./cufflinks .. ..).
Anyways when I run cuffmerge:
./cuffmerge -o "./wtC" –g /directory/Ppatens_251_v3.0.gene.gff3 -s /directory3/ppatens3.fa merged_asm assembly_gtf_merge_C.txt
I get this error:
Beginning transcriptome assembly merge
-------------------------------------------
[date] Preparing output location ./directory/
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./cuffmerge", line 580, in <module>

File "./cuffmerge", line 530, in main

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '\xe2\x80\x93g'
So what I am asking is either how to fix this, or how to install the newest version of cuffmerge on linux mint, preferably the initial though.
Don't use quotation marks (") when making an output folder.

Thought it was the quotations, but Alex Reynolds seems to have a good lead.
\xe2\x80\x93g is the encoding for ‒g, which may be the problem when you really want the short hyphen -g
I am getting this error ... please suggest solution
cuffmerge ‑g gene.gtf assemblies.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):

Here's your command:
$ ./cuffmerge -o "./wtC" –g /directory/Ppatens_251_v3.0.gene.gff3 -s /directory3/ppatens3.fa merged_asm assembly_gtf_merge_C.txt
Here's the problem, probably:
$ ./cuffmerge -o "./wtC" –g /directory/Ppatens_251_v3.0.gene.gff3 -s /directory3/ppatens3.fa merged_asm assembly_gtf_merge_C.txt
_________________________^
Try replacing that en-dash before the g with a hyphen. They look similar, but only a hyphen will likely be interpreted as an option specifier.

I guess I should say I am using cufflinks-2.2.1.Linux_x86_64 on linux mint 17
