Hi all-
Thanks to Charles Ballard, who sent me an xplot driver file with optimization turned off. Once I copied this into my /usr/local/ccp4-6.1.2/bin folder, sourced and reloaded ccp4i, the plots opened up without a problem. Please note that, at least in my hands, just updating to CCP4 version 6.1.2 did not fix the problem.

Thanks again-
Brad

Did you make the plt file on the same platform?  If not, try regenerating it (I never managed to get byte-swapping to work).

Seems to work ok in 6.1.2 fink install (as does xloggraph and xccpjiffy2idraw).

Hi all-
CCP4 distribution: 6.1.1
OS: Mac OS X, version 10.5.7 (Intel)

I wanted to look at a plot output (.plt file) from a POLARRFN run invoked within ccp4i. When attempting to open the plot file, I get a "Bad plot84 file format" but the archaic xplot84 driver window does open just with no plot visible. I notice from the CCP4 BB archives that this was a problem for Macs back in CCP4 version 6.0.2 and the fix was to get updated binaries or download a tar ball from the ftp site. But those files are specific for 6.0.2, right? It seems the xplot84 problem has persisted to version 6.1.1? Or is it a Mac Intel compiler issue? I looked in /usr/local/ccp4-6.1.1/bin and there is an xplot84driver but no xloggraph and xccpjiffy2idraw.  Any patch available for 6.1.1 or am I missing something?

Thanks!
Brad
