Dear Community,

What is the reason of placing the CCP4 PATH and other path-related variables in 
front of existing variables? This forces a linux system to use CCP4-distributed 
wish in all applications by default. Note that the ccp4i script calls CCP4 
distributed wish explicitly with its full path. 

This might be trivial, and the fix is also trivial, but trivial things like 
that cause a lot of lost time and head scratching when tcl/tk programs compile 
without errors and perform some operations correctly but segfault on others - 
all due to a mixup of libraries and wish executables caused by CCP4 wish.

Would it be possible to append CCP4 path variables by default instead of rather 
rudely jumping in front of the queue?

Thank you,

Petr
