Hi,
Has anyone managed to port NCBI blast (blastall) to IRIX 6.5. The posix
security seems to have changed between 6.3 and 6.5 and when I try to run
this command line on an Origin 2000
./bin/blastall -d swissprot -i ecreca_dna.tfa -p blastp -a 4
I get this error
[blastall] ERROR: Unable to open thread.
[blastall] ERROR: Unable to open thread.
[blastall] ERROR: Unable to open thread.
[blastall] ERROR: Unable to open thread.
and the program exits immediately.
When I run using "-a 1" blast runs as expected.
When I run as root and "-a 4" blast runs as expected.
The error appears to be caused by
NlmThreadCreateEx(do_blast_search, (VoidPtr) array[index],
THREAD_RUN|THREAD_BOUND, eTP_Default, NULL, NULL);
failing to initialize a thread.
Does anyone have any bright ideas about a solution.
john
