MACS Error

Question

[bioinformatics.girl]

I'm currently running MACS2 and have the following error:

$ macs2 callpeak -f BAMPE -t READS.bed -g hs -n test -B -q 0.01
.
.
.
.

**(MACS2/IO/Parser.c:12841)struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 4**

Any suggestions? I've run and re-run this to no avail.

Googling this error message easily finds many answers, even for someone like me who has never used MACS2. It may be a good idea to give it a try.
