Using SSPACE: Process 'extend/format contigs' failed when using -x extension option

Hi,

The scaffolder SSPACE fails with the following error when using the contig extension step. Runs fine without extension step.

Process 'extend/format contigs' failed

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Same issue here.

SSPACE_Standard_v3.0.pl -l libraries.txt -s genome.scf.fasta -x 1 -T 36 -b sspace1 >& log_sspace1.txt &

Required inputs: -l = libraries.txt Number of paired files = 24 -s = genome.scf.fasta -b = sspace1

Optional inputs: -x = 1 -z = 0 -k = 5 -g = 0 -a = 0.7 -n = 15 -T = 36 -p = 0

Contig extension inputs: -o = 20 -m = 32 -r = 0.9
