I second Kevin's point. Don't install packages manually. Let yum or
apt take care of it.
If you add livna.org to your list of repositories, most of your laptop
worries will disappear (wifi, ATI cards, etc). If you add MOKs
repository, installing ccp4 takes 'yum install ccp4i', sourcing the
setup script, and off you go.
Morton's crystallography packages exist for FC2 and RHEL. Does anyone
know of any other crystallography repos? Does anyone think it would be
a good idea to maintain their lab's machines with a local repository
that could be made available to the public (as is the case with Morton's)?

By the way, updating an rpm-based distro is a painful process. My
suggestion for your future installations is to use a Debian based
distro, like Knoppix (with nice HW detection) or (K)Ubuntu (which is
supposed to be easy to use).
Or alternatively, use yum, which is a frontend to RPM which makes it as
easy as the debian based distros. If there is a piece of software you
want, you just type 'yun install <name>', and it is installed with all
its dependencies. It can also update existing packages. It can even
update the kernel, although a reboot is required. There is a graphical
client these days, but I've never tried it.
I use yum with Fedora, but there are yum repos for Centos (a RHEW
repackage).
If anyone out there is still managing their Linux machines without
either yum or apt, please, have a look. (Fedora used to use both, but
most people seem to have adopted yum in preference to apt. I have no
idea if there is any technical reason to prefer one over the other.)
