Public bug reported:
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" config file where I put my proxy config because it
wasn't working.
In fact, the default config 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)
I created a "~/.ncbirc" file, which is read correctly, so I'm using that
instead.
