Subject: NCBI error 803/temporarily unavailable
As of the middle of November 2008, the NCBI/PubMed servers have been a bit unpredictable in returning results to queries issued by WWW::Search::PubMedLite. The specific failures appear to be limited to those queries that request PubMed Central IDs. For example: http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&id=16402093&db=pmc The error returned by NCBI is "error 803/temporarily unavailable" (see attached screenshot), which prevents WWW::Search::PubMedLite from filling the pmc_id field in results. This impacts "make test"; specifically, if this error is encountered, the "pmc_id" test will be skipped and a brief explanation will be given. It should be safe to continue with the installation provided that the other tests are working. Again, it appears that this problem is confined to the generation of the pmc_id field. -- David Iberri
