Hello!
I’m trying to run the [rna-var]() pipeline on mouse RNAseq data.
However, I am getting the following error affecting the multiqc module
:
.command.sh: line 11: 42 Illegal instruction (core dumped) multiqc --force --config multiqc_config.yml .
I am launching the pipeline with this command:
NXF_VER=25.04.6 nextflow run nf-core/rnavar \
--input samplesheet_rnavar.csv \
--outdir PROCESSING_rnavar \
--genome GRCm38 \
--skip_baserecalibration \
-profile apptainer
I am using this configuration:
process.executor = 'slurm'
executor.queueSize = 5
process.memory = '64 GB'
process.cpus = 8
apptainer.enabled = true
Does anyone know if I can change any configuration or solve anything?
Thanks!

I’m guessing you’re trying to run this on an ARM mac using docker?
I suggest updating the multiqc module. There was a known issue with v1.30, which should be fixed if you use the latest image.

Hi!
Thanks for answering!
No, I am using apptainer in an HPC with an x86_64 architecture and Intel processors.
I am calling directly the rnavar pipeline from github repo and I see that is using v1.29. I don’t know if I am able to use another version of this module along the pipeline. Or maybe I should download it and make the changes manually and locally.

Can you try again by running the dev version? Just add -r dev
to the command

Hi @matthdsm ,
Using the dev version solved the issue! Do you think I should report that to their github?
Thanks for your help!

No need, this fix is already in dev and will integrated in the next release
