FYI, IIUC, Morten Kjeldgaard has become a MOTU and is working on
crystallographic libs for Ubuntu, e.g.:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clipper
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mmdb
When he gets round to Coot I'm keen to help make his life easier.
Regards,
Paul.

Hi,
It may be useful to have a 'contrib' section for the Coot binary
download web page (or even some unofficial web page), so that we have
more options of binaries to test. For example, upon upgrading to Ubuntu
Hardy Heron, Coot stopped working, for reasons beyond my understanding,
but worked when recompiled. (Which was very easy using the
build-it-gtk2-simple script BTW). To have a central repository of tested
binaries could be very handy, to avoid having to do this.
The Coot developers and yourself (Bill) have done an enormous amount to
furnish us with working, tested programs, but perhaps one or two more
updated binaries contributed by users would be useful, especially for
newer releases of the myriad Linux flavours.
I think for the Coot developers to start providing .deb, .rpm and Gentoo
packages for every update is too onerous, especially when .tar.gz files
work OK. Just my opinion.
Which Ubuntu are you on Bill, and which binary are you using? Are these
on your debian web site? I guess I may be able to give a Hardy Heron
binary if need be.
Thanks for your .debs though, I use them all the time.

Since Ubuntu has gotten to be popular (for good reason, IMO), it
might be useful to have an official (or at least semi-official)
debian package whose installation would guarantee all the
dependencies also get installed. I've tried to do it in a
half-arsed sort of way, but lately have dropped the ball (sorry).

Hi!
Firstly, do you need to build coot at all? There are binary
packages which work just fine on Gutsy. You can install them
wherever you want on your system, and they should just work.
Secondly, if for some reason you do want to build your own (you
want to make changes to the code???), then are you using the
build-it-gtk2-simple script?
http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index.php/COOT#Installation_from_source_code
Building coot without this script requires days or weeks of
messing around with dependencies. With this script it is usually
pretty easy.
