Dear All: to add to the windows vs linux flames from a user's perspective: a) Windows: The win installation - following instructions, of which an important point is to uninstall previous ccp4win versions - completes w/o any problems, even coot0.1 starts w/o a flaw. Old version database files were opened and the jobs (using 'rerun job') executed. Compliments. Q: is there anything that can be done to have the log graphs displayed? I think they are tremendously valuable, and if no windows version of the xloggraph or whatever is available, I am happy to work with someone to provide a basic windows log parsing program (based on pgplot like my web stuff). I just don't have the time to hack though the xloggraph syntax alone. b) Linux: as can be extrapolated from my prev message, things seem no to be as smooth with the web based linux distribution. *the coot package tarred in to the install was outdated 0.0x. *as already mentioned, by using defaults, the install provides a csh install only for the ccp4 core. Not for coot and mg. As mentioned before, the idea of consolidating all the setup scripts in a top level /configure directory may be good, but if one has to chase down the shell specific setup scripts in their respective subdirectories, this defeats the intentions. * in the ccp4 setup file, the settings for the default browser are outside of 'basic user edit here' section. I doubt that 'netscape' is so common that it does not need to be user changed (btw - to get around the (new) error of %23 replacing the bookmark # sign, I needed to reinstall the latest mozilla version). Worked in Windows right away, btw...</flame> * As I believe any moral user would do, I installed the suite as su into a program subdirectory /prg running install.sh. This had as a consequence, that upon first ccp4i start as normal user, the GUI complained about (rightfully) not being able to write def files to /prg/configure. Instead, the user .CCP4 directory is picked (which may be the origin of the overwritten previous version .def files, which would have been REALLY useful to reconstruct prev working settings). The rest of the resulting agony is in my prev email. rtfm no help. thx, br -------------------------------------------- Bernhard Rupp, FRS Prosecutor, Societas Eruditorum 6487 Half Dome Court Livermore, CA 94551 001 (925) 209-7429 +43 (676) 571-0536 www.ruppweb.org --------------------------------------------
