OK, thanks for your comments. The most important statement was that BINARY.install just does not work any more without manual intervention on Linux systems! I recommend placing this information in an obvious location!
*BUT* Again trying with a fresh download (this time without python since I want to use the system version) I am getting an error message indicating the directory ccp4-6.0.1/phaserbin-ucs is missing! The phaser executable is present in ccp4-6.0.1/bin, so the phaser setup apparently has worked to some degree, but the log files (phaser.log and phasere.log) are missing (!!!) so I have no idea whether it has run cleanly. So the whole thing *may* be related to the setup now using the system-wide python installation instead of the ccp4-provided version (which is mandatory because the system does not like that one). Since there are no log files giving more information I am stuck at this point. Any suggestions? [Please refrain from advising me to "use a different distribution" (and particularly from recommending SuSE), which is definitly not an option. Re-performing a lot of installations because of some stupid software problem is a nightmare for a system administrator.] Regards Oliver ------------------------------- Dr. Oliver H.
