multiple paired end-reads in qiime1

Question

[codea]

I am in qiime1, trying to get some sequence pre processing done with my 16S data. I have both the forward (R1) and (R2) sequences running with the following :

multiple_join_paired_ends.py

using this website as a guide

i entered the following into qiime1:

multiple_join_paired_ends.py -i u -o p

and got this error:

(qiime1) codea@lsp-bioinfo03:~/r_drive$ multiple_join_paired_ends.py -i u -o pTraceback (most recent call last):

can anyone help me find out what this error is? I have reinstalled qiime today and still get the same result. I am following the instructions of the website as mentioned above, and have undergone all the file name conversions it asks for.

any help is more than appreciated.

Thanks.
