If I move my .CCP4 directory out of the way and start ccp4i, it makes
a new one:
zsh-% ccp4i
22:14:16 Creating a home directory for CCP4 at /Users/wgscott/.CCP4
22:14:16 Creating CCP4i shadow area at /Users/wgscott/.CCP4/CCP4I_TOP
22:14:16 Creating shadow subdirectory /Users/wgscott/.CCP4/CCP4I_TOP/bin
22:14:16 Creating shadow subdirectory /Users/wgscott/.CCP4/CCP4I_TOP/src
22:14:16 Creating shadow subdirectory /Users/wgscott/.CCP4/CCP4I_TOP/etc
....
Are you sure it isn't there?
What do you get for
ls ~/.CCP4
By the way the unix command for making a directory like this is
mkdir ~/.CCP4
but the GUI appears to do that automatically.
Maybe you are trying to make the thing with the Finder (Apple's file
browser)? Best to avoid it for anything unixy. It is a carbon-based
relic of pre-osx days.

Hello,
When I click on 'Apply' in the Directories & Project Directory
window, I get
the following error:
ERROR saving parameters to file /Users/Kat/.CCP4/unix/directories.def
Has anyone else encountered this error? I installed CCP4 on a
MacBook Pro
running Leopard using fink. This error always occurs, except in one
mysterious instance today, but only to hang in refmac. I checked,
but there
is no .CCP4 folder in '/Users/Kat/'. When I tried to create one
myself, OS X
wouldn't allow me to do so according to some rule that folder names
can't
begin with periods. I am getting the impression that CCP4 is buggy
on OS X.
Any information on avoiding these problems and getting CCP4 to work?
Thank You,
