Hi Ed (and COOT list):

I’ve put updated info files here:   http://scottlab.ucsc.edu/fink/finkupdate/

I’m trying to get these into fink as soon as possible, BUT there are two 
show-stopper problems:

(1) The old refmac I have won’t compile with the newer versions of gcc, and we 
really need a new version of this anyway for coot.  (Coot only requires refmac 
at runtime, so it can use whatever version you might have with CCP4). If anyone 
knows of a more recent version that is available for unrestricted download and 
installation, please let me know.

(2) Coot itself requires a newer version of gtk+2 than what fink has, and they 
are objecting that the newer version of gtk+2 has bugs in it that break other 
programs, so I am stuck on a pre-release version of coot.

None of this is at all satisfactory, and I apologize.

I haven’t yet had a chance to download the most recent CCP4 package, but from 
what I understand, it has the latest coot (and refmac), so if you need the new 
version, I suggest you do that.


If we can’t have a more recent version of coot in fink vs. ccp4, and can’t have 
refmac, it kind of makes it pointless to maintain coot in fink.
