I just found out the hard way that gmp, when compiled on my G5, is
incompatible with my G4 ppc, and it is linked to guile, which is linked
to coot, which has a scheme script called tips-gui.scm that has a random
number generator that fails if this happens, and coot will not start up.
So if you have encountered this problem, either make an empty
tips-gui.scm file and live without the annoying tips, or else recompile
gmp (a good idea).
One of the tips is how to turn off the tips.
Add
(no-coot-tips)
to you ~/.coot file.
