makeblastdb errors when generating RNA data base

[vcojocaru]

Dear all,

I am trying to test the RoseTTA2NAfold. I went over the steps described in the README file, until I reached the step to create the RNA database (gunzip -c rnacentral_species_specific_ids.fasta.gz | makeblastdb -in - -dbtype nucl -parse_seqids -out rnacentral.fasta -title "RNACentral"). At this step I am receiving the errors below (only a few lines given here, there are many lines like this). The generation of the database continues but I am wondering if its safe to ignore all these error messages.

Thanks for letting me know

Best wishes
Vlad
