Hi Fred, on today's PC hardware, a 64bit Linux should be used.
We have been using coot-0.7-pre-1-revision-3965-binary-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-python-gtk2 on our 64bit SL 6.3 systems without problems. I just now installed coot-0.7-pre-1-revision-4360-binary-Linux-x86_64-centos-6-python-gtk2 on these systems and it seems to run well. Is there an error message if you try that?
