Is it possible that you have phenix (or some old version of phenix) installed and that the PATH variable from the CCP4i gui finds that phenix first?

Check if ccp4_first_in_path is set to 1 in your $CCP4/include/ccp4.setup script.

Hello all

I've recently redone a computer system using Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon as the OS. We've had success using Feisty Fawn in the past and using the ccp4i suite downloaded from wgscott's page (the debian files used in ubuntu). For whatever reason we cannot use PHASER in the ccp4i suite. The error we continuously get is "cannot read .mtz file" FAILURE..etc.

If i use a small script file (for example phaser.sh or phaser.com) with the following lines
phaser << eof

MODE MR_AUTO
HKLIN "./p3.mtz"
LABIN  F=F_1 SIGF=SIGF_1
TITLE MR_01
COMPOSITION PROTEIN MW 13000 NUMBER 1
SGALTERNATIVE ALL
TOPFILES 5
ENSEMBLE ensemble1 &
  PDBFILE "x.pdb" &
  IDENT 40.0
SEARCH ENSEMBLE ensemble1 &
  NUMBER 2

RESOLUTION 4.0 30.0


ROOT p3

end

and it works, but the ccp4i GUI cannot read it in PHASER. It works for REFMAC when doing refinements.

what the heck!

thanks all
