Hi All, I'm clearly doing something wrong, but don't know what. Trying to run elbow with Gamess from the command line for "myligand" but no .cif file is produced. The input is a pdb file of the ligand, this the best I have. The command line: phenix.elbow --all-residues --do-all --gamess --basis=3D"3-21G" myligand.pdb > elbow.out & Everything seems to be OK, Gamess is found and run:

more elbow.out
