A late reply, but I just solved exactly the same error upon a request in the team. Please see if it helps in case anyone meets the same error.

1. The mentioned error is replicated, while most other binaries function normally.
2. Executed perl configureHomer.pl for a fresh install. The error persists.
3. In bin/HomerConfig.pm, a non-existent hard-coded $homeDir setting as /gpfs/data01/cbenner/software/homer/./ was identified and corrected. However, the error persists. This corrected the hard-coding error in findMotifs.pl and findMotifsGenome.pl but not in makeTagDirectory.
4. The source of the error message was traced to SeqTag.cpp using grep. SeqTag.h is confirmed to be included in makeTagDirectory.cpp. A similar hardcoding error was identified and rectified in SeqTag.cpp. Used the make makeTagDirectory command to generate the correct binary. Verified the functionality of makeTagDirectory.

DONE :)
