We are using ccp4-6.0.1 and the libcheck and sketcher packaged with this
installation. I should make it clear--I don't know where the name change
is taking place. I "told" sketcher to look for "GLC-b-D". When I select
the file name in sketcher as the monomer to open up, it claims the name
is GLC-b-D, which matches the actual file name in the mono_lib
directories (GLC-b-D.cif). The three-letter code, GLC, is a valid
synonym for GLC-b-D, at least according to mon_lib_list.html. I assumed,
though I don't know it for a fact, that the error handling just dumps
out names in all-caps and some other error caused the original problem.
If there is some sort of all-caps conversion going on with the file
names, I would have thought I would have trouble opeing NAG-b-D (by way
of example) for the same reason, but that file loads in sketcher (and
therefore passes through libcheck) just fine. Of course, I can make (in
fact, have made) my own model of glucopyranose, read it's pdb file into
sketcher, calling it something other than GLC, and make my own
dictionary entry for the compound, but it seems to me I shouldn't have
to do this. The compound is already in the monomer library. I just can't
seem to access its description/restraints for some reason. So I remain
puzzled as to what is going wrong. I do appreciate the suggestions,
though.

Thanks to all,
BobC

Dear Bob

What version of refmac, libcheck and dictionary are you using?
