Error: KMA did not run as expected

KMA seems to be running into a core-dumping issue when I’m trying to analyze my metagenomic paired-end reads (total=65 Mio reads) on ResFinder.

I have already rerun ‘python3 INSTALL.py’ from inside db_resfinder and I did see filenames with suffix ‘.length.b’ being created there. Below is the command-line I used:

python3 /home/tools/resfinder/run_resfinder.py -o resfinder_output_reads -s “Other” -l 0.8 -t 0.9 --acquired -ifq ReadA_1.fastq ReadA_2.fastq -k /home/tools/resfinder/kma/kma

Below is the error message I got and under “KMA finished with the following response”, I found only a couple of blank lines. A core dumping file starting with 'core.XXXX” was found inside the main working directory after this error message was displayed.

“Error: KMA did not run as expected.

KMA finished with the following response:”

I tried to run the above on my computational cluster node with --mem=100G --cpus-per-task=12. Resfinder works fine for me though when running in BLAST mode with a metagenomic assembly fasta file as the input. Any help here would be appreciated.
