First question: do you need to run makereference at all? If you are using a recent version, then reference data is supplied in $CLIBD/reference_structures

In fact, if you are using the latest version of pirate, you don't need to specify a reference structure at all.

So the only reason you might need a reference structure is if you are solving something very exotic and need to use a similarly exotic reference. In which case, can you check what type of files you have downloaded? You should have files with names of the form:
 pdb????.ent.Z
 r????sf.ent.Z

Hello,

I'm trying to use the task "make reference" in order to have a reference
structure for Pirate.
I cannot do FTP so I put the coordinate and the structure files in a local
folder. When I try to run the task with the ccp4i or manually, I have the
following message:

The program run with command: cmakereference -stdin
has failed with error message
child killed: bus error

(I'm using a Mac Intel and the 6.0.1 version of ccp4)

So, I have no idea of where is the problem. I verified the files and their
location and every thing is ok.
Could you tell me what can I do?

Thanks in advance
Paola
