Hi guys, I am having some trouble getting the buildtrie executable to work for SortMeRNA v2.1 which is used in the SAMSA2 pipeline. I installed the package via sourcecode from Github, used the nano editor to add the line export SORTMERNADIR="/path/to/sortmerna-vx" to the file, and even created an rRNA database for the package, but I am still having issues.

On an additional note: when I call which sortmerna (an executable), I receive the path location. In comparison when I call which buildtrie I do not receive a response. This makes me believe that there was something wrong with the installation or source code.

Is there something wrong with the source code or am I missing something?? Any suggestions or comments would be of great help!

Thanks and best wishes, ~Jonathan
