I'm helping set up crystallography programs on a ubuntu system, and we're stuck because one program (scalepack) needs the library libg2c.so.0 .
I understand this is absent from modern distributions because gcc discontinued support for g77 and f2c in recent releases. However on fedora there are compatibility packages like compat-libf2c which allow running old executables compiled with g77. Is something like this available for ubuntu? Or is there some other trick to get scalepack running? I understand ubuntu is used by many crystallographers, and while I'm sure most of them use mosflm or XDS, I'm sure someone has tried setting up denzo/scalepack. the system: Linux xxxxx 2.6.31-22-generic #65-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 16 15:48:58 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux gcc (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) 4.4.1 Thanks, eab
