Steady on. I hope that Bill and I can finagle coot into working with whatever gtk+ it has been provided.

FWIW, Gtk+3 in the works and Gtk+4 is on the horizon.

Thanks, Bill, as always for the dedicated support.

I've been a fink user, actually due to your packages, for at least ten years.

Maybe it's time to switch to home-brew? Would they have more gtk+2 flexibility?

Best,

    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.
