Hi Sheena,

simple quickfix to your problem:
a) Run CAD and limit the output resolution on that mtz file so you don't run 
into the memory allocation error of pointless.
b) try phenix.xtriage also if it is not a CCP4 program

Dear all

We have been trying to run pointless on a large mtz file which seems to be 
allocating more than 1.5Gb of memory resulting in the following error:

The program run with command: /Applications/ccp4-6.3.0/bin/pointless
has failed with error message
pointless(507) malloc: *** mmap(size=1577435136) failed (error code=12)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

We are using OSX 10.8.4 and believe that we need a 64bit version of pointless.

Looking at the pre release ftp site, we found the latest versions of pointless 
compiled for OSX 10.8, however they do not run.

dyld: Symbol not found: __ZNSt11range_errorD1Ev
  Referenced from: /Applications/ccp4-6.3.0/bin/pointless-1.8.7.osx10.8
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib
 in /Applications/ccp4-6.3.0/bin/pointless-1.8.7.osx10.8

Any help would be greatly appreciated (and any know if there is a upcoming 
release of a pre-compiled CCP4 OSX-64bit??)

Regards
Sheena
