Re: Setting up symmetry restraints in a homo-dimer with non-equal number of residues

The error message likely means the potential file does not exist, which
happens in xMDFF when there is a problem generating it with phenix. Check
the map.log file in your working directory for the output of phenix and you
should see another, hopefully more informative, error message in there.
