and install the library, again using yum (assuming yum is available in your distribution, otherwise use apt or whatever is there for this purpose).


=== Installation on Debian/Ubuntu from debian archive files ===
==== Example: installing a 64bit nightly CentOS5 binary build on 64bit SL6.1 ====
As an alternative, you might wish to exploit the debain dpkg/apt/synaptic package management system on Ubuntu and other Debian linux distributions using (unofficial)  
First of all, SL (Scientific Linux) is a derivative of RHEL, as is CentOS. So all three OSs behave exactly the same.
[http://diablo.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/debian/coot_hardy/ pre-compiled debian packages for coot and its dependencies]. (These will be discontinued when official packages become available.)
The binaries with "x86_64" binaries are for 64bit systems; the "i386" binaries are for 32bit systems. Since my notebook is 64bits ("uname -a" reports "x86_64" more than once), I download coot-0.7-pre-1-revision-3999-binary-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-python-gtk2.tar.gz. As root, I "cd /usr/local/src" and un-tar. Next, have to find out which libraries are missing. This can be achieved by (''note the use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the second command - do not permanently modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH !''):
[root@localhost]# cd coot-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-gtk2-python
[root@localhost]# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=lib ldd bin/coot-real | grep found
libssl.so.6 => not found
libcrypto.so.6 => not found
libssl.so.6 => not found
  libcrypto.so.6 => not found
 
So only two libraries are missing! Either they can be installed using yum, or they are already available, but have a higher version.
* First possibility: find out about installable RPM packages (preferred way):


To do so, simply download the deb files and install with the command
[root@localhost  src]# yum provides libssl.so.6 libcrypto.so.6
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
openssl098e-0.9.8e-17.el6.i686 : A compatibility version of a general
                                : cryptography and TLS library
Repo        : sl
Matched from:
Other      : libssl.so.6
... (the package is repeated, and libcrypto.so.6 is also mentioned)
: Now don't just install the openssl098e-0.9.8e-17.el6.i686 and its dependencies - it is a 32bit library (the name ends with ".i686")! Installing it does not solve the problem - we need a 64bit library. Unfortunately "yum provides" does not tell us about the 64bit library (is that a yum bug?). By specifying just the package name (openssl098e.x86_64 would also work, and would avoid any 32bit package)
yum install openssl098e
: we install both libssl.so.6 and libcrypto.so.6 in their 64bit versions - done!


  sudo dpkg -i *.deb
* Second possibility: find out if the system already has a higher version of the two libraries:
[root@localhost locate libssl.so
/usr/lib64/.libssl.so.1.0.0.hmac
/usr/lib64/.libssl.so.10.hmac
/usr/lib64/libssl.so
/usr/lib64/libssl.so.1.0.0
  /usr/lib64/libssl.so.10


dpkg will complain if a dependency is missing rather than install a broken program.
: So the answer is: there is /usr/lib64/libssl.so which is at version 10, which is compatible with the version we need (6). For libcrypto.so the same is true. So just
cd coot-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-gtk2-python/lib/
ln -s /usr/lib64/libssl.so libssl.so.6
ln -s /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.6
: The way these symlinks are made they would even work if RHEL upgrades libssl or libcrypto to higher versions. Works for me.


=== Converting to rpm packages ===
Final step (this does not need to be repeated for a new coot version): create /usr/local/bin/coot with
You can convert any debian package file into an rpm file using the program ''alien''. I have done this and have made the [http://diablo.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/debian/rpm/coot/ resulting packages] available.
#!/bin/csh -f
setenv LANG C
  exec /usr/local/src/coot-Linux-x86_64-centos-5-gtk2-python/bin/coot $*
and make it executable with
chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/coot

Control stereo separation / depth in coot 0.9: the transformation between the eyes is no longer a rotation and is now a shear. Which means that now we don't get part of the map showing up in the left eye but not the right (or vice versa).
This is documented in Section 3.4.1, e.g.
set_hardware_stereo_angle_factor(0.5) # for the Python fans
Hardware stereo failure: try the line
(set-display-lists-for-maps 0)
in ~/.coot for coot 0.9 - see https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind2002&L=COOT&P=R312 and https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa-jisc.exe?A2=COOT;49fa8d15.2006

=== Stereo: left/right (and front/back) interchanged? ===
Establish an additional toolbutton "swap stereo":
Main Toolbar -> right mouse click-> Manage buttons-> select Swap Stereo
Or for the script minded:
switch_stereo_sides()
This will toggle the stereo images left and right.

Q: How can I get involved with Coot development?


Join the [[Coot Janitors]] project. This is a project to get new people involved in improving Coot, by acting as a clearing house for simple tasks which need doing, and providing documentation for doing them.

== Get rid of the "fix nomenclature" check ==
Q: Is it possible to deactivate the nomenclature errors check? Sometimes this check is not very useful and it becomes rather annoying when one has several molecules loaded only wants to look at the structures...
 
A: The [https://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/personal/pemsley/coot/web/docs/coot.html#set_002dnomenclature_002derrors_002don_002dread Coot manual] should help: Add to your ~/.coot or whatever:
(set-nomenclature-errors-on-read "ignore")
In case you are using the python file, e.g. “.coot.py”, I think you have to change this to “set_nomenclature_errors_on_read ignore”.

A: Yes this fails.  Hydrogens are named differently to SHELX hydrogens.  In principal this could be made to work if the dictionary was reworked to use SHELX hydrogen names.  This would also fix the chi angles problem too of course.
A: Yes this fails.  Hydrogens are named differently to SHELX hydrogens.  In principal this could be made to work if the dictionary was reworked to use SHELX hydrogen names.  This would also fix the chi angles problem too of course.
Specific Q3: I am unable to open the output pdb file from ShelXL in Coot.
A: Well, it's hard to know what's the problem without details - the console should say something. But when handling the output of shelxl, I suggest you read the .res file rather than the pdb, then the subsequent .ins file contains lots of "header" information.
Another answer to questions 1+2 is to rename the hydrogen atoms in the shelxl res-file to match the mmCIF dictionaries used by Coot. This only needs to be done once as shelxl does not modify these names. Except for a few manual editions, the renaming can be done semi-automatically using regular expressions (replacing A->1, B->2, etc).
Concerning question 3, the Coot -> Extensions -> Module -> SHELXL menu entry works really well now. It reads in all relevant shelxl files and provides a menu highlighting the problematic areas in the model.

==Disulfide bond across crystallographic axis==
Q: I have a pair of disulfide bonds which link two monomers in separate  asymmetric units.  There is a single monomer in the asymmetric unit, and two monomers come together to form disulfides between Cys 26-Cys45, and Cys45-Cys26. When I real-space-refine these residues, they do not form a nice disulfide, and Coot does not seem to recognize them as a disulfide.
A: For the record, you can't refine symmetry-related disulfides in Coot (as of Nov 3, 2009).
==Macros in COOT==
Q: How to use macros in COOT? Do they need to be written in Python or another language that I had not heard of before? Where can I find a low level description of how to write macros with some examples (I know nothing about Python, except that it is fashionable)?
A: The other language is a form of Lisp, called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_(programming_language) Scheme]. You can learn about programming python in many ways of course (not least the [http://docs.python.org/tutorial/ python tutorial], which is what I read first). The coot python extensions are described in the documentation. There is a standard trivial formatting change that has to be made to get the syntax right for python, see "Python Scripting" [[http://www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/~lohkamp/coot/wincoot-faq.html|here]]. There is a growing collection of coot scripts in this Wiki article.
== building loops ==
Q: Is there any similar function in COOT as lego_auto_mainchain command in O program?
A: there are 2 loop fitting tools in Coot
# C alpha -> Mainchain [http://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/personal/pemsley/coot/web/docs/coot.html#C_002dalpha-_002d_003e-Mainchain],[http://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/personal/pemsley/coot/web/docs/coot.html#Building-Links-and-Loops]
# DB Loop: (No good documentation) [http://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/personal/pemsley/coot/web/docs/coot.html#protein_002ddb_002dloops] Extensions -> Modelling -> DB Loop...
==LSQ superpositions==
Q: Do an LSQ superposition using specified residues in multiple chains (superposing one oligomer on another).
A: Something like this then?
clear_lsq_matches()
# specs for reference then moving
add_lsq_match(20, 90, "A",  20, 90, "A", 1)
add_lsq_match(20, 90, "B",  20, 90, "B", 1)
add_lsq_match(15, 75, "D",  15, 75, "D", 1)
apply_lsq_matches(1, 2)
which presumes that the reference molecule is in 1 and the moving molecule 2.
Q: How to do a LSQ superposition of a homologous structure onto my working structure using ± N residues about the current position, where N is a variable (not essential, could be fixed) and the current position is the last residue that I clicked on.
A: That is more involved - and more useful because it  can be dynamic. Something like the following perhaps (in Scheme, just for amusement (not tested)). You will need to set imol-ref, perhaps by reading in the reference pdb, as demonstrated below.  The function is bound to Shift-Y.
(define dynamic-lsq-range-extent 2)  ;; ± 2 residues either side of centre residue
(define imol-ref (read-pdb "reference.pdb"))
;; convert between the input reference chain id and the chain id of
;; the moving molecule that corresponds to that chain
;;
(define (mov-match-chain ref-chain-id)
  ref-chain-id)
(define (dynamic-lsq-match)
  ;; get the current residue and use that to make residue ranges for
  ;; an LSQ fit
  ;;
  (using-active-atom
  (clear-lsq-matches)
  (add-lsq-match (- aa-res-no dynamic-lsq-range-extent)
          (+ aa-res-no dynamic-lsq-range-extent)
          aa-chain-id
          (- aa-res-no dynamic-lsq-range-extent)
          (+ aa-res-no dynamic-lsq-range-extent)
          (mov-match-chain aa-chain-id)
          1)
  (apply-lsq-matches aa-imol imol-ref)))
(add-key-binding "Dynamic LSQ overlay" "Y" dynamic-lsq-match)
== reading MTZ file with experimental PHI and FOM using --auto ==
Q:  There is the --auto <filename> commandline option for auto-reading mtz files (mtz file has the default labels FWT, PHWT). Can this be made to work with a SHELXE .phs output file after converting with convert2mtz ? - the resulting MTZ file has labels F PHI FOM.
A: use: coot --python -c 'make_and_draw_map("sad.mtz", "F", "PHI", "FOM", "/HKL_base/HKL_base/FOM",1, 0)'

And one would use this something like:

(let ((imol (read-pdb "test.pdb")))
  (compare-ncs-rotamer imol "A" "B"))
== make RSR in coot 0.8.1 behave like in earlier versions ==
Q: We've noticed a new behavior in real space refinement in coot 0.8.1 whereby dragged atoms are more tightly restrained to their initial positions than in earlier versions. This seems to be described in the release notes by:
  o BUG-FIX: The amount that the other atoms ove with moving the picked atom has been reduced (but is configurable)
A: Add e.g. this to your ~/.coot.py file:
set_refinement_drag_elasticity(0.8)
Q: I'm wondering why this was changed. Does the optimum elasticity change with resolution, map quality, or another experimental limitation? Or does it more of a user preference?
A: Because of cis-peptides. My worry was that in the previous regime, it was
too easy to introduce cis-peptides when fitting to low resolution maps. 
I believe the current default setting is much less likely to do that.
Q: I've tried various settings of refinement_drag_elasticity and I need to lower it to 0.5 or so before any semblance of earlier behavior appears.
A: It used to be 0.167, I think.
== Molprobity not active in COOT ==
Q: I am using COOT 0.8.1 EL that comes with the CCP4 6.5.010 on my Mac OS X 10.10.2. I wanted to run molprobity but the Validate > Probe clashes button in my pull down menu is not active. Is this function available in this COOT version?
A: Reduce and probe are separate programs available from the Richardson’s lab at Duke http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/. Download and install on your box. Then coot needs to be told in some instances where it can find these executables. I have the following lines in my ~/.coot file in Linux.
<pre>
;; .coot
;; This file is required. As of coot 0.8pre no other mechanism for
;; enabling probe in coot works
;;
;; This is full pathname of molprobity's probe program
(define *probe-command* "/apps/xray/bin/probe")
;; This is full pathname of molprobity's reduce program
(define *reduce-command* "/apps/xray/bin/reduce")
</pre>
Untried: if you have Phenix installed: it comes with phenix.probe and phenix.reduce - you could insert the paths to these binaries into the above definitions.
== some symmetry mates not shown ==
Q: This structure has been solved and refined using phenix in the hexagonal setting of space group R 3. There is one copy per asymmetric unit in R 3. As you can see from the attached image, coot is rendering some but not all of the symmetry mates.
A: Turn up the radius a bit and use (set-symmetry-shift-search-size 3) . I would have thought that 2 is big enough, but maybe not in this case.
== specify Coot download directory, like specifying backup dir by COOT_BACKUP_DIR? ==
here is my working startup.py (of course replace src folder with your preferred location):
import os
try:
    os.symlink('/ccp4/xray/tmp/', 'coot-download')
except:
    pass
