We are running phenix (743) on a RHEL5 dual quad, multithread, making a composite omit map pf a very large structure (750 AA) and the system keeps getting locked up. Have anyone else seen this type of problem? Does multiprocessing work well on RHEL or just FC versions? We needed to install the FC8 version (/phenix-1.7.1-743/build/intel-linux-2.6-x86_64) to get it to work. So maybe we are using the wrong version? Shoiuld I recompile it for our system? Why is the gui always open when we are running long jobs (many days)? We need to put this stuff in the background and log out so someone else can run. Should scripts be used instead of the gui? Great program but too unstable. kas -- Kenneth A. Satyshur, M.S.,Ph.D. Associate Scientist University of Wisconsin Madison, Wisconsin 53706 608-215-5207
