Hi,

I installed coverM through the bioconda and I am getting the following message:

The problem does not appear when I do not perform dereplication. Could you help me solving this issue?

Hmm, sounds like something is wrong with your dashing installation e.g. dnbaker/dashing#41

What happens when you run dashing --version ?

BTW that is because dashing is only used for dereplication, so is not checked for when no dereplication is used

[wwood]

And as a short term solution, you can use --dereplication-precluster-method finch to use a non-dashing (a little slower) method for the initial step of dereplication

This is what I get... Not sure why...

dashing --version
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

This seems to work for now. I will check the result tomorrow.
