Has anyone ever installed the program "EPMR" on a RedHat9 or Fedora4 system? I can't seem to locate where to download it or any information on actually installing it. Thanks in advance.

a short description of what epmr does might help us find what you're looking for. is it a program for crystallographic molecular replacement?

if that's the one you're looking for:

Yes, exactly. EPMR is an algorithm for crystallographic molecular replacement by evolutionary search. It runs a 6-dimensional search on X-ray diffraction data collected at a synchrotron source. The software apparently runs in Linux and is supplied by Agouron Pharmaceuticals, but there is limited information regarding this. You are supposed to be able to obtain it from ftp://ftp.agouron.com/pub/epmr/, but the connection will not accept a blank user id and login and there is no information on an acceptable login. Thanks for the reply.

Also, those sites you attached above are correct, except that the first is simply a textual description/manual for the software, and the second, well I suppose I'm too much of a newbie to make sense of that.

the second file needs to be copied into a text file on your machine, then you make the changes necessary to it to fit your needs. after you make it executable with

Code:

chmod +x filename

then you just run it from that location

Code:

./filename

i have no idea what that program is or does, so the rest is up to you
