Problems

Likely problems may include:

  • Failure to agree to CCP4 v6 license agreement. If you have not installed CCP4 v6 before, you should read the agreement at http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/ and then use the following before attempting the install:
    echo $user `date` "V5.0" > ${HOME}/.agree2ccp4v6
  • Non-Linux platforms: Change the CCP4 configure line to have the name of your platform, instead of 'linux', on the end. The fortran example will fail.
  • 'wget' fails: Your firewall may block wget. In which case, fetch the tar files by hand and then run the rest of the script.
  • If you haven't installed cctbx, the cctbx example will fail.
