[BioPython] Problem with standalone BLAST

[Fabien Crozet]

What version of BLAST are you using ?
You should update your BLAST version first and try again. The problem could be linked to the compatibility beetween BLAST version and databank release. I have noticed some "little problems" with the 2.2.6 to 2.2.8 version...
