Hi Arti,

indeed I had that problem......unfortunately I was never able to solve 
it from within SHARP (i.e. ended up doing more or less the same type of 
work with the individual CCP4 programs)

At that time I was using CCP4 5.0; now I'm using CCP4 6.0.1, and it 
doesn't work either. Misteriously enough, Claus Flensburg said that e.g. 
the tutorial with the IF3-C.1 data worked just fine...which is 
definitely not the case for me.

The error  (after adding that missing ';' at the end of line 303 on the 
getax.pl perl script  in /whereverSHARP//bin/sharp/) is still the same: 
as reported in STDERR

 >CAD:   Fatal Error
 >Error in script /Applications/Crystallography/Sharp/bin/sharp/getax.pl 
- File "getax_50.0pc/g_dm_34.3_14.3_180-1.2.mtz1" not found or not 
readable at >/Applications/Crystallography/Sharp/lib/libhtml.pl line 1482

and indeed, that mtz is never written, because CAD crashes

Last, that patch that was mentioned on those mails refers to a possible 
problem with the cmtzlib_f library, that could've been the reason 
affecting column assignment in CAD (as suggested on the ccp4 Problems 
page for v5.0.2); but that didn't (nor doesn't) improve this particular 
problem.

Sorry for not being helpful...
