Ghostx database formation error

When I use ghostx db to convert nr.gz to format ghost x format database file, the following error message occurred. nr.gz was downloaded from NCBI ftp.

$ ./ghostx db -i nr.gz -o nrdb 
error : basic_string::_S_create

Did Ghostx support gzip-compressed fasta file?

The usage says:

-i STR    Protein sequences in FASTA format for a database

You can try to decompress the nr.gz
