You mean something like this?

You have a non-default language. setenv LANG C (or LANG=C if you prefer)
before starting coot.
The problem may also be due to LC_ALL. So, if the above doesn't work try
also:
setenv LC_ALL C
setenv LC_NUMERIC C
if using bash, one would unset LC_ALL and unset LC_NUMERIC
Quoted from the Coot FAQ:
http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~emsley/coot/coot-faq.html
I normally use
unsetenv LANG LC_ALL LC_NUMERIC
or
unset LANG LC_ALL LC_NUMERIC

Dear Coot-users,
We have previously used Coot on Fedora without problems, but switching to
Ubuntu has created some problems. The problem appears when a molecule is
loaded into Coot. All atoms are loaded, but the connectivity is corrupted and
the molecule appears as a collection of two-three atom bits. We have tried to
run side-by-side executions of Coot on Fedora and Ubuntu respectively, and
the only difference in the output to the screen is that in Ubuntu, the cell
parameters are listed without decimals.
We are running Coot version 0.4.1 precompiled for Redhat and Ubuntu,
respectively. Our Ubuntu version is 7.10.
Has anyone experienced similar problems, and if so, do you have a fix?
Best regards,
Anne Mølgaard
