You might have better luck asking on the ccp4bb, but I'll try to answer...

You haven't told us how you tried to run it, but the error tells you
that it is not finding your .pdb file.  Did you run it on the command
line?  If so, did you type something like:

ncont xyzin file.pdb

The standard command line format for CCP4 programs is such that coordinate
files are indicated by the "xyzin" (and "xyzout") logical names. 

It can also be run from the ccp4i interface. Did you try that?

Cheers,
Rob
