This may be related to how the script should be used. Make sure that you are including arguments of (1) the initial state POSCAR file; (2) the final state POSCAR file; and (3) the number of images. An example would be:

nebmake.pl POSCAR_ini POSCAR_fin 6

Note: we should provide a sensible message if these values are provided - I will do that.

error solved. So turns out the error is due to typing the wrong dir of the two POSCAR file in the command. Thank you so much.
