Cannot determine engine variant and version!

I can run RepeatMasker successfully, but I met the question below when I run the same datastes with RepeatProteinMask.

Identifying Simple and Low Complexity Repeats...(masking turned off)

  • Tandem Repeats: 3559 Masking Repeat Proteins... WUBlastXSearchEngine::setPathToEngine( /home/pearlmillet/miniconda3/bin/blastx ): Cannot determine engine variant and version! at /home/pearlmillet/miniconda3/bin/RepeatProteinMask line 344.

The version of RepeatProteinMask is 4.1.2

I am looking forward your reply.

The default search engine for RepeatProteinMask is AB-BLAST. If you want to use RMBlast for searching instead, you should add the arguments -e ncbi to the command line.

I think we ought to make RepeatProteinMask to respect the configured default search engine.
