It doesn't seem to work out of the box on Centos5.6, nor on Scientific Linux 6. On SL6 I think we had to install yet another TCLTK from somewhere (can't remember) to get BLT, and with that one using wish does work Roll on the loggraph replacement! Phil On 17 Aug 2011, at 10:38, Tim Gruene

Dear Phil, for me (RHEL 6.1, 64-bit, ccp4 6.2), loggraph works with wish but requires bltwish. The command is exec $CCP4I_TCLTK/wish $0 -- ${1+$@} but if I set export CCP4I_TCLTK=/sharedSoftware/ActiveTcl-8.5/bin I get the same error that you report because ActiveTcl-8.5 doesn't contain

Dear Christian, Sometime ago, I ran into the same problems as you describe. I think I used an iUCR program to do the conversion. However, extensive manual editing was still necessary. The problem was that the cif file had long atoms names (5 characters), which got truncated upon conversion,

Dear all, Is there a way to make COOT use it's own libraries and not the ones from ccp4 which is the default? I've tried using the command export COOT_REFMAC_LIB_DIR=//path/to/coot//share/coot/lib (mentioned elsewhere) but it doesn't work. Thanks Eric

Eric, That IS the way to do it. Please make sure you have the dictionaries in the path and check your coot startup script in case it sets COOT_REFMAC_LIB_DIR back to nothing (and hence falls back to the ccp4 one). Do you get any message in your start up console? BTW which version of Coot

Hi Eleanor, Depends on what makes them rogues. If, say, they have very large amplitudes then you could do something like: sftools read rogue.mtz select col 1 1 write norogue.mtz end Or if it's easier to select just the rogue reflections by some combination of select commands, you can do
