Hi Kurt,
the CCP4 program package for Mac OS X from the CCP4 download site
installs the CCP4 suite under /usr/local or any other path that you
provide during installation. There is no such thing as a CCP4.app that
can be started by clicking on it. Instead, you have to create in a
Terminal.app a ".bashrc" file in your home directory (/Users/name
where name is your user name) and add a line to it that calls the
ccp4i setup script, like one of the following lines (check the correct
path):
source /usr/local/ccp4-6.0.2/bin/ccp4.setup-sh
or
. /usr/local/ccp4-6.0.2/bin/ccp4.setup-sh
After that, this setup script is executed whenever you open a new
Terminal.app. You can verify the existence of any CCP4 program by
typing, for instance, "which fft". The answer should give you the full
path of the CCP4 fft program. If you want to use the ccp4i GUI, you
should install the tcltkblt.pck for Mac OS X from the CCP4 download
site under its default installation path.
This is more the UNIX way of installation than the Mac way.
I hope that helps,
best regards,
Dirk.

William,
Thanks for your advice. I intend to give it a try in the next few
days. Hopefully, I will have some positive results to share.
Anastassis,
I tried using the binary from the link you provided, but I was
unable to get the program to run even though Installer said that the
installation was successful. I don't remember the details, but the
installation did not produce an executable .app file and typing
ccp4i into Terminal didn't launch the program either.

CCP4 distribution?
