Hi Charles and all, thanks a lot. That did the trick for ccp4i. There still are some marshal-related issues around.
a) ccp4i after each job I get a message like this: CreateAnnotatedLogfile: failed for /..xxxx..../7_refmac5.log: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/ccp4-6.1.1/ccp4-6.1.1/share/smartie/baubles.py", line 18, in ? import smartie ValueError: bad marshal data b) xia2: [u...@sbl-emerald xia]# xia2 ../images/203289a7_a0001.img Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/xia2/xia2-0.3.0.0/xia2-0.3.0.0//Applications/xia2.py", line 27, in ? from Handlers.Streams import Chatter ValueError: bad marshal data *ccp4* provides /usr/local/ccp4-6.1.1/Python-2.4.5/bin/python *centos5.3* runs python-2.4.3-24 Any ideas what happens there?
