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?

Cheers
Jan
