That is exactly how it is supposed to work with 10.5. No need to use an xterm, and it sets the DISPLAY variable automatically. I assume you have write-permissions in the directory it is trying to make the .CCP4 directory?

Sue,

Currently, when I type in ccp4i into Terminal, X11 launches and then CCP4
does too. I am running OS X 10.5 with a fink installation.

I also thought the problem was using the Terminal window and not the
X11 window, but, interestingly, typing ccp4i in a Terminal window,
not an X11 window does work.
X11 does need to be installed and running, -- that could be the problem.

(Caveat, this is in 10.4, not 10.5 - I have 10.5 but haven't
installed it yet because of the coot discussions)

Hi -

You need to add to your .chrc, or type in an ***X11*** window (and
not in the Terminal).

source /usr/local/ccp4-6.0.2//bin/ccp4.setup-csh

then it will work.

it does not really install a real application in the OSX sense.

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.

Hi -

I am sure that its not a fink problem really, but why not try the
CCP4 distribution?

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,
Kurt Padilla
