Dear Jim and others, Jumping on this thread probably too late... I found the same problem just two weeks ago. Never found the reason, but after installing the 1.4-4 prerelease version of phenix, this error vanished. In our case, the job concerned H32 data with rather big cell dimensions. Version 1.4-3 crashed with the memory problem after having tried resolve_extra_huge. In version 1.4-4, resolve_extra_huge managed to find all the memory required.

This is not a bug but some feature of the new Mac (or perhaps mine is broken).

Tom Terwilliger can run the same job on his older Mac and on Linux. However, with my new Mac resolve complains that it can't allocate enough memory.

Since my machine has 8GB of memory and Tom's has 2 GB, it is something to do with the esetup either Mac or Phenix.

I am a newbie on the Mac, I wondered if anyone could help me. (Tom is also new to Mac and agreed to my posting here).

best Jim
