Hi,

I've downloaded the recent Cygwin version 1.7.24 and an trying to run bedTools but I get an empty file as my output. When I run the same commandline and files on a colleagues computer also through Cygwin I get a file containing the overlaps I seek. is the new Cygwin not compatable with BedTools? I've put the command line we used below:

./intersectbed -a Gene_body.bed -b EdgeR1.bed -wao > yyy.temp

Any help would be appreciated.

Cygwin versions have probably nothing to do with it, but to compile BedTools it needs to have other libraries present

  • make sure that you bedtools was properly compiled on your system and that it actually runs at all - look in the manual, find and test some examples
  • make sure that the files are actually the same, when you transfer them back and forth across Windows machines it is easy to mess up the line endings

Thanks. Bedtools wasn't installed properly with the GCC compiler and the new commandline is: ./bedtools intersect Not what I was trying.
