Dear all,
I am using Refmac_5.5.0088 in CCP4 6.1.0, linux version. The program runs
well normally, but all of a sudden it failed with the following message:
Refmac_5.5.0088: Open failed: File: /tmp/vesna/refmac5_temp1.06489.txt.
Here is the log file of the run:

I would very much appreciate help in solving this problem.

Can you write to the directory /tmp/vesna? Does it exist? The last
error is permission denied... This could happen if something wiped the
files in /tmp - including the directory, or if someone else created the
directory there and you cannot write to it.... I would check "ls -ld
/tmp/vesna" to see that the directory exists and the permissions are
correct.
Another possibility is that someone changed the permissions on the
directory /tmp - and made it not world writable... "ls -ld /tmp" would
tell you if this was the problem.
Good luck...
