No such file or directory: 'VCF_dict_tmp'

[PengZhangJHU]

I'm using MToolBox v1.2, and when I tested on the /test/sim_data that came with the download the software, I got the following error. I saw this error has come up in earlier posts but don't find a solution to it. Anyone has suggestions? Thank you!

MToolBox.sh -i test_config.sh &> sim_data_run.log

How was this solved?

I found the issue to be with the NcursesW library installation. when installed separately and re-installed MToolBox, everything works fine.
