(ERR): bowtie2-align exited with value 141

Hi!

I am running bowtie2 with the command

bowtie2 --maxins 2000 -p 16 -1 sample.r1.fq.gz -2 sample.r2.fq.gz -x indexfile 2> sample.bowtie2.log

and get the following error perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = "en_US:en", LC_ALL = (unset), LC_CTYPE = "UTF-8", LANG = "en_US.UTF-8" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to a fallback locale ("en_US.UTF-8"). (ERR): bowtie2-align exited with value 141

Is the problem locale settings? Or value 141, if so what is that?

Thanks!

Hi!

Thanks for fixing locale advice. (i'm working on linux yes)

there is another post saying that 141 was a bug and it was fixed already, can you please update your bowtie2 and see if it is still exists ?

Thanks Medhat! Can you please post the link where it says that 141 was a bug? I installed Bowtie2 2.2.8 as a conda package and the next release 2.2.9 doesn't exist as a conda package :(

I installed a previous version, bowtie2 2.2.6 and then it worked! So the 141 error seems to be a bug in the 2.2.8 release. Thanks!
