bbduk memory error

[GastonViarengo]

Hello everyone,

I've installed bbmap throw sudo apt-get install bbmap and also by downloading the package, untaring it and adding the path to the directory in the .bashrc file. However, when running bbduk.sh --version or a script bbduk.sh -Xmx... (I've tried with -Xmx5g, -Xmx4g, -Xmx1g, -Xmx800m, -Xmx100m and without setting -Xmx on a 8 gb RAM machine) I get the following error:

/usr/bin/bbduk.sh: línea 344: /usr/share/bbmap/calcmem: No existe el archivo o el directorio
/usr/bin/bbduk.sh: línea 345: setEnvironment: orden no encontrada
/usr/bin/bbduk.sh: línea 346: parseXmx: orden no encontrada
/usr/bin/bbduk.sh: línea 350: freeRam: orden no encontrada
java -Xmxm -Xmsm -cp /usr/share/java/bbmap.jar jgi.BBDuk --version
Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmxm
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Also, the folder /calcmem does indeed do not exist. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Thank you!
