That's great. In the short term, highly unofficial/unauthorized/
zeroth-order coot and dependencies for i386 linux:
debians:
<http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/ccp4wiki/index.php/Coot#Instalation_on_Debian.2FUbuntu_from_debian_archive_files

rpms (made via alien from above):

These include mmdb, ssm, gpp4, fftw (in the form required for clipper
and coot), clipper, coot, which will install into /usr/local/xtal
and then the various guile-type dependencies, which will install into /
usr

When he gets round to Coot I'm keen to help make his life easier.

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). On Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 1:03 AM, Kevin Cowtan

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.
