[phenixbb] Problem with version 1.7.1-743 on OSX

[Miguel Ortiz Lombardía]

Hi Nat,

I'm using the command-line installer for Mac, as I have always done. I
typically run it with:

sudo ./install.sh --no-apps --prefix=/some/where

It is not a problem with the pdb file or with the mtz:

1/ the same pdb and mtz files work perfectly in the same Mac computer
providede I run phenix.refine from the command line
2/ they also work fine if I run phenix.refine in a linux computer (in
this case they work from both GUI and command line)
3/ Any file downloaded from the PDB gives the same negative result

So, it is clearly a GUI problem on the Macs, which is not the same than
saying that the problem is *in* the Phenix GUI: it could be yet another
side-effect of an Apple software update...

To be complete, for a typical Mac here:

>uname -a
Darwin think.local 10.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.7.0: Sat Jan 29
15:16:10 PST 2011; root:xnu-1504.9.37~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

>xcodebuild -version
Xcode 3.2.6
Component versions: DevToolsCore-1809.0; DevToolsSupport-1806.0
BuildVersion: 10M2518


Best,


Miguel
