Hi Ravindra, didn't you report the exact same problem? I think so, and my reply was contained two suggestions: - try the latest PHENIX from nightly builds: http://www.phenix-online.org/download/nightly_builds.cgi Note, 1.4-3 is not the latest. - if you get the same error using the latest installer, then please send me the data, model and the exact command including all parameter files (if any), so I can do further diagnostics and suggest a work-around.

Hi all,

I will highly appreciate your help to resolve the following bugs encountered during running phenix.refine on GUI as well as on command lines.

My version of Phenix and platform are: PHENIX: Python-based Hierarchical ENvironment for Integrated Xtallography Version: 1.4 Release tag: 3 cctbx tag: 2008_12_07_1353 Platform: mac-intel-osx osx-10.5.8

*The error encountered using phenix refinement GUI (phenix.refine_gui) is as follows:*

A Python error was detected. This is almost certainly a bug; please send an email containing this message to [email protected] so we can fix it. Thanks!

N.B. Earlier, I had encountered the similar error (using command line) using PHENIX version 1.3 on the same platform.

Thanks in advance.
