Error - can't makeblastdb

[desmodus1984]

Hi,

I am working on an HPC with Linux. I installed MitoHifi as stated and then I loaded MitoFinder 1.4.1.

I used the following code
python MitoHiFi/src/mitohifi.py -o 5 -r CB_Parent.fasta -f c.elegans.mito.fasta -t 10 -g c.elegans.mito.gb , with PacBio Hifi reads, and I downloaded the fasta and gbk of C elegans N2, since I am working with a different strain, same species.

Everything worked fine until the makeblastdb.

Any reason why this doesn't work?
I also installed Mitofinder in the same directory I am running now, and I added to the path and same problem.

Do you have BLAST loaded as part of your script?

Yes. I did install it in the conda environment and I also tried loading the HPC module
