Invalid base directory. Aborting. Base directory: tmp/validator_tmp/

Hi SABINE developers, thank you for developing and sharing this tool with the community. I managed to install SABINE based on the instructions. However, running ./sabine -check-install gives me the following output:

Invalid base directory. Aborting.
Base directory: tmp/validator_tmp/

I'm wondering if this is something that needs to be addressed prior to running SABINE, although I tested SABINE on TFpredict's output (sample fasta file included assuming that it's a human sequence) (as SABINE input). It worked, but it didn't have any predictions as to what the DNA binding motif is.

Thanks a lot for the help!

@papelypluma Thank you for your feedback. Would you mind sharing a sample data set (could also be a reduced one) via email (andreas.draeger@uni-tuebingen.de)? This makes it easier to reproduce the problem.

Hi @draeger. Thank you for looking into this.

The script runs after creating the folder tmp directly in the SABINE main folder. This problem won't appear in next versions because it is now calling the method File.mkdirs instead of mkdir. SABINE attempted to create multiple folders at once but couldn't.
