So finally the solution was easy access... Thanks to someone who suggest me to do that, I created a new user, to verify if coot was ok under that session, and it was fine. Then I went back on my session, I removed the files below: 0-coot-history.py 0-coot-history.scm 0-coot.state.py 0-coot.state.scm
I restarted Coot, and loaded my files (.pdb, .mtz and .cif), Coot didn't crash and I am now able to do a real space refinement. It should be my first intention to remove Coot preferences.
