Hi Joel, Yes, the contig mover can run in 64-bit mode. On windows and linux it selects either 32- or 64-bit progressiveMauve according to whether Java is running in 32 or 64-bit mode. On 64-bit Macs it will always run in 64-bit mode. To get the Mauve java gui running in 64-bit mode, one should first ensure that 64-bit Java is installed (may need to download it from java.sun.com). On windows, it may be necessary to uninstall 32-bit java and then uninstall and reinstall Mauve so it links to the new Java. On unix it might be necessary to edit the "Mauve" script to add -d64 as a command-line option to the Java virtual machine. -d64 selects 64-bit mode.
Another much simpler approach would be to delete the 32-bit progressiveMauve and replace it with the copy in either linux-x64 or win64 depending on your platform. -Aaron On Fri, 2010-05-07 at 11:40 -0400, Joel McManus wrote: > Dear Mauve support group, > > I've been trying to use the Mauve contig mover with drosophila > genomes, and have run into memory allocation errors.
