BUG in ncbi-blast+



Hi,

While attempting to use NCBI "blastn" from behind a proxy, I traced the execution of "blastn" to check if it was reading the default "/etc/ncbi/.ncbirc" file where I put my proxy config in because it wasn't working.

In fact, this file is never stat'ed or read:

ajt@beluga:~$ strace blastn |& fgrep .ncbirc
stat("./.ncbirc", 0x7fff8bbc0200)       = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/home/ajt/.ncbirc", 0x7fff8bbc0200) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/etc/.ncbirc", 0x7fff8bbc0200)    = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/usr/bin/.ncbirc", 0x7fff8bbc0200) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

My "~/.ncbirc" file is read correctly, so I'm using that instead.

Please let me know the proper way to report this BUG in med-bio?

Thanks,

  Tony.
