Hi Dave, I have been using 1.2.16 on this platform for a long while now and it is working fine - take a look at the MRC ftp site to see if you can get the same binary:

Morning all... I've just downloaded the newest version of pointless, 1.2.15, using the mac osx intel binary. When I try and run it through the gui, it seems that my child gets hit by some sort of bus error: ************************************************************************ *** * Information from CCP4Interface script ************************************************************************ *** The program run with command: pointless has failed with error message child killed: bus error ************************************************************************ *** #CCP4I TERMINATION STATUS 0 "child killed: bus error" #CCP4I TERMINATION TIME 23 May 2008 10:04:00 #CCP4I MESSAGE Task failed If I try and run it from the command line, I just get a bus error - my child escapes unscathed this time - even if I just type pointless without any commands... I'm using mac osX 10.4.11, and an intel powered machine. Has anybody got any fixes or suggestions for this? Cheers, Dave -- ============================ David C.
