tophat2 mapping error

I always use this command and mapping is successfully end.

tophat2 --max-multihits 1 --b2-very-sensitive --GTF mm10_genes.gtf --output-dir sample_thout Bowtie2Index_mm10/genome sample.fastq &

But, Today, I got an error message .. and can't making accepted_hits.bam

Last week, I did something to my laptop. so maybe some of Program files are deleted in that process. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you getting this error on a Mac?

[jolin0701-dy]

yes, it is on mac. OS X 10.8.5

[GenoMax]

Assume you are using the pre-compiled version. Have you tried a newly downloaded copy?

[jolin0701-dy]

Do you think a newly downloaded copy work? I'll try it. thanks.
