Hi Damion, The NCBI have a bug here - if it is just a warning, it shouldn't say "Error". We had something similar before: Error: (1431.1) FASTA-Reader: Warning: FASTA-Reader: Ignoring FASTA modifier(s) found because the input was not expected to have any. In that case the NCBI fixed it, see https://github.com/peterjc/galaxy_blast/issues/40 Did you (or Keith Bradnam) report this to the NCBI? In the short term we can probably tweak the regex so that these "Error: *: Warning: *" lines on stderr are not treated as errors? Do you fancy working on this?

Makeblastdb can spit out warning notices when a higher count of N ambiguous nucleotides occurs in the first row of fasta data, but goes ahead and completes the blast database.
"Error: (1431.1) FASTA-Reader: Warning: FASTA-Reader: First data line in seq is about 45% ambiguous nucleotides (shouldn't be over 40%)"
At moment the NCBI Blast+ wrappers (toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/devteam/ncbi_blast_plus/ncbi_makeblastdb/0.1.01) are saying "yup those are errors", but i think they should be downgraded to just Notices? If the tool is part of a workflow it fails - on db's like RDP RNA this is quite a nuisance.
Anyone else run into the same thing?
