Hi Tim:
I know, I've been through it with them too, but neither debian nor
ccp4 want to change, so it was easier just to roll my own bltwish
package, being the natural born diplomat that I am. As for the debian
maintainer, it seems kind of arbitrary to remove an executable that
builds by default when you compile blt from source, but admittedly it
does save them ~933Kb of space.
However, just replacing bltwish with wish isn't quite enough (try the
graphs). You need a patch:
diff -r ccp4-6.0.2-original/ccp4i/bin/ccp4i ccp4-6.0.2/ccp4i/bin/ccp4i

Subject: BLTwish issue
Hi,
some time ago I read your discussions with the Debian blt package
maintainer
about the inclusion of the separate bltwish binary, and the problems
caused
for CCP4i by its absence in the standard Debian/Ubuntu package. I
agree that
is not very reasonable of the packagers to leave out a file that is
part of
the standard installation profile and the packages on just about
every other
Linux distribution. I was however fascinated by the package
maintainers'
obstinacy, and some time ago I decided to try to see what the
implications
of his suggestion to change the affected programs were. After some
grepping
and editing in the CCP4 source, I came up with the attached patch that
changes all references to "bltwish" into "wish" and adds the necessary
lines to the affected Tcl scripts. So far the modified CCP4i seems to
work OK on an unmodified Ubuntu installation, so it is doable.
But I still agree that it shouldn't be necessary :-) .
Anyway, I just thought I'd share this bit of information.
Cheers,

I had a quick look at the wiki. It claims one requires the
executable bltwish for ccp4i to work correctly. However, the
maintainer is correct (I asked him the same thing some time ago) -
the blt-library works perfectly if only you replace the few
occurrences of 'bltwish' in the scripts in $CCP4/ccp4i/bin with just
'wish'.
At least for Debian, and I assume it's no difference for Ubuntu.

Hi Harry et al:
Well, it it makes you feel any better, imosflm works great for me
on ubuntu ibex:

I just lost my imosflm virginity at the synchrotron a few nights
ago (they have it working or rh at SSRL).
If it helps anyone, here are the details: http://tinyurl.com/imosflm-ibex

Thanks very much for all your efforts. I really appreciate it.
Best wishes for the holidays.

Hi
So it looks like we released Mosflm/iMosflm on a "bad hair" day -
photos of Luke and me will possibly reveal who has the worst hair
(this would, of course, be a matter of opinion!).
