Hi Jennifer, clear drops can still be brought to supersaturation by: -transfer to wells with lower vapour pressure: exchange or add LiCl or other concentrated salt solutions in the reservoir -temperature gradient: place trays on ice/cold surface while hanging drops are at higher temperature,

I'm installing CCP4 and Phaser/CCTBX on a 64 bit machine (4 intel xeon cpus) running Ubuntu 8.04 with the 2.6.24-16-generic kernel (this linux was downloaded and installed just last week). I followed the instructions (untar ccp4*.tgz, untar phaser*.tgz, edit ccp4.setup, source ccp4.setup,

It is not the light source that is expen$ive, but rather the microscope optics and the camera. Standard optical glass has a fairly high absorption in the UV. In most cases you can replace the glass with quartz by addig a 0 to the end of the price (before the decimal point). The camera is

It looks like you need to install python2.4 (and python2.4-dev if using the package manager) and use that as the default during the build (remove /usr/bin/python and symlink it to python2.4 instead of /usr/bin/python2.5 ; after compiling phaser you can change it back). Pete -Original

IMHO the word high is an useless way to describe your resolution. We're scientists. We measure things. Things called numbers. So why not use them? The words high and low are about as useful in scientific literature as large and small, many and few, old and new or the ever-popular

Dear Raja, The problem appears to be that you are not the owner of the CCP4, but root is; this can happen even if you are the only user. From your email it looks CCP4 belongs to root. There are three solutions: 1. cd $CCP4 cd .. sudo chown -R yourname.yourgroup 2. for ARP/wARP

I think CCP4 gives you the option to include the Python sources (v 2.4). That would be better than to mess with the system python. BTW: I've fixed the problems you are seeing a long time ago, even before Python 2.5 was released. In the next CCP4 release it'll probably work with the system python.

Hello, I did what you recommended, and Phaser did compile. I got a slew of other errors output, though; errors in EditString.C, hardcopy_ctrl.c, xloggraph.c, log_file.c, and some others, all concerning graphical elements, I think. Hopefully they are innocuous. What I see is ccp4i starting

Probably. You should source either the first or the second file depending on your shell (the first for bash, the second for tcsh/csh). That might be the cause of your subsequent problem. For purposes of debugging, can you send us output for the following three commands: echo $PATH echo $CCP4
