Hi All,
I should point out (although I understand the need for having a
means of using a free compiler, like gfortran/g77) that CCP4 5.0.2
(completely) and 6.0.0 (sans clipper) both compile with the Intel
Fortran compilers for MacIntel. I posted something about a month or
so back about that (and other programs, like Shelx, Solve/Resolve
etc...). If people need either instructions (for what I did to get it
to go) or just want my current binaries I'm more than happy to
provide them (although I can't provide too much support) until a
standard build is possible with gfortran.
I'd also mention as Warren did in another post, that yes, if
something needs only gcc it will in fact just work (I've only seen
one instance where it fails and that was due to a condition that only
a very small fraction of programs, generally speaking, would
require). Currently Fortran is a problem and one that I plan to raise
a lot of noise about with Apple (again) at the end of this month. To
that regard, please see Bill's email about the survey that we've
posted on MacResearch.org . The more responses we have about fortran
support the stronger the argument I can make. This is a general
problem for a lot of scientific code and one that I haven't received
a reasonable explanation from Apple about.

Hi Bill,
slow but steady progress on CCP4 on os x. I have got it about as
far as the ppc version when compiling using 4.1 . Major problem is
that gfortran uses a linux header for setting up the floating point
exceptions, I have a work around and will be in contact with the
gfortran people as soon as I can figure out how (the gsl folk where
much easier to get in contact with).
In short, with some tickling CCP4 will compile on a mactel box.

Still, this is better than gfortran on an intel Mac. Every code
that uses a maths function fails at runtime with an
EXC_ARITHMETIC, including the gcc testsuite math.f90 . gcc/g++
seem to work nicely though.

Dear Charles:
Thanks. You just saved me $1200 and doubtless a five-star migrane.
Bill
