Hello, I have Coot installed on macOS 10.14.6, using the Bill Scott binary method. It has worked well for me for awhile. However, recently it stopped being able to fetch PDB files using several approaches I commonly use.
For File -> Fetch PDB using accession code, it gives an error: “Failed to read coordinates file 1sug.pdb.ent” and does nothing else. The coot-download folder is empty. For File -> Fetch PDB & map using EDS, it gives a similar but slightly different error: “Failed to read coordinates file pdb1sug.ent” and does nothing else. The coot-download folder is empty. However, for File -> Fetch PDB & map using PDB-REDO, it works. The coot-download folder is still empty — but the model and map appear in the graphics window. I was previously using an older version of Coot from perhaps 2018ish. I then removed it entirely from /usr/local/bin/coot and /opt/coot and ~/Library/Coot, and re-installed using the Bill Scott binary method. Now I have 0.8.9.2-pre EL (revision count 7607) — though the splash screen actually says 0.8.9.1. The problem persists. (Moreover, it doesn’t seem to have loaded my ~/.coot file anymore, since I had specified pre-set window positions in that file which previously were reflected when the program started, but now are not.) Can anyone provide any help please? Thanks in advance, ~Daniel — Daniel A.
