Eric, That IS the way to do it. Please make sure you have the dictionaries in the path and check your coot startup script in case it sets COOT_REFMAC_LIB_DIR back to nothing (and hence falls back to the ccp4 one). Do you get any message in your start up console? BTW which version of Coot

Hi Francois, your mtz file doesnt appear to have any phases, so Coot (or whoever) cannot make a map. What Coot cleverly tries to do in such a case is to use calculated phases from the given pdb (and mtz) file. So it runs refmac with the pdb and mtz to retrieve this phase information. There is
