Dear Petr

Newer version of refmac is 5.6 and it should be available from ccp4 soon. 
Meanwhile you can try this version from this website

http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/refmac/data/refmac_experimental/refmac5.6_linux.tar.gz
 


There are versions for mac etc also.

regards and I hope you will sort it out soon
