No files in the split folder and the basename problem

[ala98412]

Hi there,

I am trying on a Yeast genome for denovo assembly, using juicer on CPU version.
I have few questions here.

1. I used the -z option and input my own genome file, why the program still aligning to the genome hg19? Am I doing something wrong?
2. I don't have any files in the splits folder.
3. What is "basename" do for? And what wrong is happening?

I've created a folder named "fastq" in the folder "topDir", and I have fastq files inside the folder.
All files and folders in the "CPU" folder were copied to the folder "scripts" in my current folder.

My command and the error messages is below:

$ ./scripts/juicer.sh -z ./genome/MYA3404.genome.fa -d ./topDir/ -p assembly -D ./
(-: Looking for fastq files...fastq files exist

Thanks for your kindly helping !
