Bowtie run error

I am running SSPACE after assembly of reads using SPADES. However SSPACE returns the following error.

command:

perl ~/my_scripts/SSPACE/SSPACE_Basic.pl -l libraries.txt -s contigs.fasta -k 5 -a 0.7 -x 0  -b standard_out

Error:

Your help will be valuable.

assembly

I have always had issue with running bowtie within SSPACE so I have used bwa instead. You can try bwa if you have bwa available in the path.

How do you switch from Bowtie to BWA on SSPACE v2?
