Create local BLAST database

[SeqClark]

Hi there,

I tried to use makeblastdb to create a local BLAST database and got the following error message. I checked the FASTA format of my file and it seemed to be OK. No idea how to correct this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"Error: NCBI C++ Exception:
"..\..\..\..\..\src\serial\objistrasnb.cpp", line 164: Error: ncbi::CObjectI
StreamAsnBinary::UnexpectedTagClassByte() - byte 0: unexpected tag class/constru
cted: #255, should be #160 ( at Seq-entry)"

What version of the NCBI executables are you using? What command line arguments are you using to create your database?
