Once again, thanks a lot for all your replies.

I just found out the problem. Ultimately it was quite a silly mistake
- I had an old and defunct SYMINFO environment variable from solve/
resolve in my .cshrc file, which clashed with the one that coot was
setting (in /sw/share/coot/setup/coot.sh). Once I removed the old
SYMINFO reference, coot could open the PDB files properly.
Thank you very much for all the help.

I am not as familiar with the OS version you are running, but with WinXP, i don't even need the CRYST1 card to view the structure, only when trying to view symmetry partners, etc. where it is needed.
