Hi Dave,

I am slightly confused what you are actually doing. What do you mean by 'go to Libcheck to import a GOL'? The error message you get comes when you open the 'Find Ligand' dialog and a map, protein, and/or ligand is missing. There should be a more detailed message in the console output (not just the statusbar) and actually a warning dialog if the ligand is missing (maybe hidden somewhere). Anyway before you can let Coot find a ligand you need to import it (use e.g. 'Get Monomer' or for solvent molecules Extension->Modelling->Add Other Solvent Molecule).

Hope this helps you a bit further,

I'm running the version of coot as obtained from the ccp4.ac.uk
website last week, using OSX 10.5.8

My problem is this - I have what appear to be bound, ordered glycerols
in my maps - I want to import "GOL" and use the Ligand fitting
routines to help with this. I know I could do this "by hand" - but
COOT looks like it has some rather nice features to do what I want
with minimal fuss.

I have added the fix to the COOT script in the launcher (getting it to
source the ccp4.setup file) and COOT reports it can now find libcheck
in the "get monomer" window.

However, when I go to Libcheck to import a GOL, I get "problem finding
maps, coords or ligands" reported in the message bar, and nothing
happens.

Help!

Dave
