Hi,

I'm learning how to use modeller (release 6 with linux red hat 9). While CHECK_ALIGNMENT seems accept my alignment, calling the routine 'model' gives me an error when trying to read that same alignment.

I 'm trying to model 41 residues into the first chain of the PDB file 1GL2.pdb (after this 'practice run' I will try to model the four chains of the structure at the same time).

Following are relevant parts of scripts+logs. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!!!
