Hi, The CCP4 download page has a proper package, which works, despite being an older version.
I had problems with his binaries too, (from this web page: http://sage.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/xtal/wiki/index.php/Installing_Coot_on_OS_X ) ...but the best way for me was to use his fink installation method (fink seems to be a wrapper for apt-get, as far as I can tell): http://sage.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/xtal/wiki/index.php/Getting_your_fink_installation_to_use_packages_that_I_have_pre-compiled Synopsis: ------------ 1) Install fink 2) Edit /sw/etc/fink.conf 3) Update fink 4) Install Coot fink -b install coot ...which should give you a new binary: "/sw/bin/coot" This is a synopsis, but there are full instructions on the web page, starting here: http://sage.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/xtal/wiki/index.php/Getting_your_fink_installation_to_use_packages_that_I_have_pre-compiled#Before_you_begin I hope this helps Mark P.S. Thanks for the binaries Bill! 2009/6/5 Jason Greenwald <[email protected]>: > When I migrated to my new Macbook, COOT quit working properly.
