Dear Jochen, Huw and others,
We have managed to reproduce the problem on a 64bit Mac with fink-installed CCP4. We can confirm that the problem appears to be related to 64bit TCL/bltwish as suggested by Huw. Invoking a 32-bit installation of fink alongside a 64 bit one can be tricky, so we propose the following solution which should work in every case.

Firstly, get a different tcl - this could be the version of tcl from a 32 bit installation of fink, or otherwise from a downloaded TCL installation, from, for example, ActiveState:

http://www.activestate.com/activetcl

The introduction of ARP/wARP into the GUI will have to be done using this version of tcl. I would suggest that the simplest way of doing so is to modify the install_csh.sh script that is in the downloaded ARP/wARP folder. At line 565, replace the line:
$CCP4I_TCLTK/tclsh << eof | tail -2
to point to whatever tclsh you intend to use. For example, if you have a 32 bit fink installation, based in the folder /sw32, then the line should read:
/sw32/bin/tclsh << eof | tail -2

A second option would be to modify the setting for CCP4I_TCLTK in the ccp4 setup script appropriate to whatever shell you use. In this instance, both manual installation of ARP/wARP into the GUI and installation using the install.sh script should be possible once the modification has been made and the environment variables reset. If you need any further details on how this could be done for your own shell, let me know.

Note that installation using this method will require one to operate in a sudo shell, and of course have all environment variables set up in advance of installation, as laid out in the attachment from Huw.

HTH,

Ciaran Carolan

sorry to bother you with this but I just can't figure out what goes wrong ...

I am running the latest version of snow leopard on a MBP unibody with the 64bit 
kernel.

I have an up to date fink installation for native 64bit.
I've seen this too - it seems to be due to problems with 64bit bltwish. There 
is a workaround here:

http://proteincrystallography.org/ccp4bb/message13191.html

but that unfortunately requires a 32 bit fink installation of CCP4 alongside 
the 64bit one.

I can confirm that this works and once installed ARP/wARP and 64bit CCP4 work 
together fine.
