This is odd.  Does it show this [unavailable] value for all peptides?  Or
are there some with a measured signal?  (you can sort the output by that
column to make it easier, or filter in the PepXMLViewer.

Can you please re-run xinteract the same way you ran it last time, and paste
the entire output of the command in a reply?  Can you also include the
condition file, so I can make sure it got generated the right way?

The next step after this will be to look at the pep.xml file itself.  If you
can open it in a text editor (wordpad or some such...) , can you see some
libra information near the top of the file?  It would look something like
this:
<libra_summary mass_tolerance="0.200" centroiding_preference="2"
normalization="3" output_type="1" channel_code="114115116117">
<fragment_masses channel="1" mz="114"/>
<fragment_masses channel="2" mz="117"/>
[...etc...]

Moreover, further down the file, can you find (use search) tags that look
like this? (there shoud be one per peptide id'd)
<analysis_result analysis="libra">
<libra_result>
<intensity channel="1" target_mass="114.092" absolute="28.920"
normalized="1.008"/>
<intensity channel="2" target_mass="117.098" absolute="29.594"
normalized="1.032"/>
</libra_result>
Let us know what you find,
