Dear Protein Crystallographers We have recently downloaded and installed the CCP4 suite Version 6.1.13 for Mac OS X. To access it we go to My Applications and open the file: Applications/ccp4-6.1.13/ and then double click on the ccp4 logo. The first thing to appear is a warning message: “you are the first person to run this version of ccp4i and it is trying to automatically configure and save information to the file /Applications/ccp4-6.1.13/share/ccp4i/etc/unix/configure.def but you do not have permission for this directory. Please get the person who installed CCP4i to run and configure it. It is OK to continue running ccp4i.” So we click on “Dismiss” and this brings up the standard ccp4 window. Then if we try opening General Help we get another warning: “CCP4 Interface warning: Apparently failed to open /Applications/ccp4 6.1.13/docs/ccp4i/help/guiframset.html/in hypertext viewer "firefox" Last error message Unable to find application named 'firefox' Check the CCP4i configuration Look for Hypertext Viewer under Configure Interface options in the System Administration menu.” Again if we try opening this System Admin window we get the first warning message above. We also tried running Refmac but get similar problems when trying to create a project directory. Can anyone please advise? Thank you, David Lisgarten and Rex Palmer.
