Hi Fred Sorry to hear you're having apparent problems with CCP4i... this is something of a long shot, however it might be that the BLT component of the "bltwish" interpreter (which is used to run the CCP4i scripts) is causing the problem. You could test this hypothesis by editing $CCP4/ccp4i/bin/ccp4i to use the "wish" program instead of "bltwish" (check whether you have "wish" or if it is something like "wish8.3" or "wish8.4"). CCP4i should run but some tasks and utilities (e.g. loggraph) won't work. As I said though this is very much a long shot - I have no evidence as to whether this really is the problem. Best wishes Peter On Fri, 17 Feb 2006, Fred.
