Dear Phil (and everyone): 1. I've now got automated build systems for coot for 10.7.1 and 10.6.8. I just haven't had a chance to get the 10.6.8 one on line. I'll try to do this today. (Also, the last few haven't build due to a change in the code with which the compiler can't cope, but hopefully that will be a thing of the past soon.)
2. Most things build on 10.6.X will run on 10.7.X. I haven't opened ccp4mg, but will give it a try after I wake up. 3. I've had trouble with stereo on coot with 10.7.1, but, oddly, the problem goes away if I have a second monitor. If you update to 10.7, keep a clone of 10.6 just in case it drives you nuts. There are all sorts of perverse changes, and (unlike the reversal in scrolling direction) not a lot of over-ride options. I guess this is a glimpse of the post-Jobs era, albeit one provided from an inconvenient vista. Peace and joy, Bill On Sep 16, 2011, at 6:33 AM, William G.
