Dear Victor and BB, For reasons which are opaque at best some linux distributions name this file libtermcap.so, and some libtermcap.so.2. Evidently the binary worked fine on the collection we tested. Fortunately there is a relatively simple if inelegant fix: cd $CLIB ln -s /usr/lib/libtermcap.so ./libtermcap.so.2 This will just link to the system termcap library when used by Mosflm. If however Harry says that this is not used any more then we (CCP4) will need to check and update the Makefiles. I'll log this as something to check. Of course, fetching the version from Harry direct is an equally good solution.

Don't you guys ever rest? :-) Computers never cease to surprise me. I checked my Ubuntu installation and, after all, libncurses5 is installed. But, contrary to the information in packages.ubuntu.com, I did not find "/usr/lib/libtermcap.so" or on any other place, in my laptop! At the same time I was looking on how to get this library, I also downloaded the imosflm zipped file and the ipmosflm executable from http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/harry/imosflm/, as Harry Powell suggested. Comparing my installation (it is an installation from binaries, Tim Gruene) with the contents of these new downloads: I added 14 new files starting with .# to dir ccp4-6.1.0/ccp4i/imosflm/src, I added tkImageLoad.so file to dir ccp4-6.1.0/ccp4i/imosflm/lib, I replaced ipmosflm (6.2 MB (6471568 bytes)) with the downloaded version (5.4 MB (5647272 bytes)) in /usr/local/xtal/ccp4/ccp4-6.1.0/bin And now the error message is gone and all is working fine!! I guess it was changing ipmosflm file who did the trick. Maybe the version that comes with ccp4 6.1.0 was, in my case, a buggy one?? Until next time Thanks again Victor Alves Quoting "Johan P.
