The subset (!) of the CCP4 5.0.2 libraries that we need for the cctbx is included in in the cctbx bundles here: http://cci.lbl.gov/cctbx_build/ A standalone tar file is also available, e.g. a specific version: http://cci.lbl.gov/cctbx_build/results/2007_05_29_2026/ccp4io_502_cci.tar.gz Or the current version: http://cci.lbl.gov/cctbx_build/results/current/ccp4io_502_cci.tar.gz BTW: We cannot redistribute the CCP4 6 libraries because of an indemnification clause. Being at a government lab, it is virtually impossible to get our lawyers to accept this clause. CCP4 offered a click-through license to "pass on" the indemnification, but that would have been more work technically than maintaining the older LGPL'ed libraries, and it would make the cctbx a lot less attractive for others, since everybody would have to deal with the indemnification clause when redistributing the cctbx as part of another package.
