Hi Kiran --

Can you forward this question to the MAVID folks? I think this is  
where something is going wrong...

Hello,

I'm trying to use mavid.pl and I'm hitting errors right away. I'm  
hoping you can help.

$ /usr/local/mavid/mavid/mavid.pl NC_006570.fasta
/usr/local/mavid/mavid/randtree NC_006570.fasta
/usr/local/mavid/mavid/mavid ./mavid.ph NC_006570.fasta

Error: The masking file could not be found.

WARNING: non-zero return from mavid.  Call was:
/usr/local/mavid/mavid/mavid ./mavid.ph NC_006570.fasta
/usr/local/clustalw/clustalw ./mavid.mfa -tree

I used the Perl debugger to try to understand what might be going  
wrong. It appears that on line 80 of mavid.pl a call to randtree is  
executed

/usr/local/mavid/mavid/randtree NC_006570.fasta

and then on line 81 mavid.pl tries to move "treefile" to "mavid.ph".
