Dear Kay,

Exactly. That is why we provided two Linux versions (called pdb2ins and pdb2ins_oldlinux) on the SHELX server. So far two versions seem to be enough and for Macs and Windows only one version seems to be required. If anyone finds this to be insufficient, please let Anna know giving details of which OS or Linux distribution you
are using.

At the moment we are only providing 64-bit versions of pdb2ins and there have been no complaints about that. This raises the question of whether I am wasting my time providing both 32- and 64-bit versions of all the SHELX
programs?!

Best wishes, George
CC Anna

Hi Phil,

the error message occurs because your glibc is too old for this binary. The 
glibc cannot easily be updated,  it is tied to the distribution, in your case 
RHEL6. A newer kernel does not change this, nor would an update to RHEL 6.8
This is why distributed Linux software should be built on dated distributions.

Best,

Kay

Hi George

I�m not sure that anyone here is using shelxl but I�ve just updated our general 
64-bit Linux versions anyway. shell starts OK, but with pdb2ins I get a 
complaint. Do you understand this? (I should probably ask our local guys)

Our system is
Scientific Linux release 6.7 (Carbon)

./pdb2ins
./pdb2ins: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by 
/tmp/_MEIQO85tj/libz.so.1)

best wishes
Phil

SHELXL may be used to refine both small and macromolecular structures against 
X-ray or neutron diffraction data, including non-merohedral twins. A new 
version 2016/6 of SHELXL may now be downloaded from the SHELX server. It has 
been well tested by about 20 volunteers to whom I am very grateful. A new 
version of Anna Luebben's program PDB2INS is also available there (for 64 bit 
systems only). PDB2INS makes the preparation of the .ins and .hkl files to run 
macromolecular SHELXL refinements much easier. For most structures deposited in 
the PDB since 2008 these two files can be generated automatically and no 
changes are needed to run SHELXL.
