Re: [ccp4bb] Coot (OS X) unable to read CRYST1 line - Solved!

Once again, thanks a lot for all your replies. I just found out the problem. Ultimately it was quite a silly mistake - I had an old and defunct SYMINFO environment variable from solve/ resolve in my .cshrc file, which clashed with the one that coot was setting (in /sw/share/coot/setup/coot.sh). O
