[maker-devel] Error: FASTA header doesn't match '>(\S+)'

[Carson Holt]

Make sure your fast file is not compressed (i.e. .gz or .bz extension).  Otherwise one of the entries in the middle of the file likely has nonsense characters. Also you can delete the mpi_blastdb under the *.maker.output directory to force it top rebuild any indexes.
