Trinity transcript_abundance.pl error using RSEM

Question

[dimitrischat]

when i try to run transcript_abundance.pl using RSEM

./align_and_estimate_abundance.pl --seqType fq --single '..x.fastq' --transcripts '.../Trinity.fasta' --output_dir '/..output' --est_method RSEM --aln_method bowtie2 --trinity_mode --prep_reference

it runs good up until :

samtools sort -n -@ 1 -m 1G -o bowtie2.bam.for_rsem.tmp.bam bowtie2.bam

[bam_sort_core] merging from 114 files and 1 in-memory blocks...

rsem-scan-for-paired-end-reads 1 bowtie2.bam.for_rsem.tmp.bam bowtie2.bam.for_rsem.bam
..................................................................................................
Finished!

Conversion is completed. bowtie2.bam.for_rsem.bam will be checked by 'rsem-sam-validator'.
rsem-sam-validator bowtie2.bam.for_rsem.bam
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The input file is valid!

then this error:

I am having this same issue, 32 individuals into my dataset (not with all individuals). @dimitrischat how did you solve this?
