Re: [COOT] problem in coot installation in ubuntu

Oh, in case anyone is wondering how I did this (and how I screwed it up), the correct command should have been: dpkg -S $( ldd /usr/local/xtal/coot/bin/coot-real | awk '{print $3}' | sort -u | grep -v \( )| cut -f 1 -d ":" | sort -u | perl -pi -e 's| \n|\, |g' >| dependencies.txt whereas

Re: [COOT] problem in coot installation in ubuntu

Woops. I didn't see that. I auto-generated the list of dependencies from the output of ldd on the coot binary, upon which I then used dpgk -S to find the corresponding packages. For some reason it generated this falsely (the library is also present, but ldd does not report coot linking an

Re: [COOT] problem in coot installation in ubuntu

Hi, I just tested it on a freshly installed system for a student; it works very well on Ubuntu Hardy. I'm not sure why "nxnode" is a dependency of the Coot .deb though! (Although that doesn't bother me too much- I would advise anyone to use NX ). Thanks again, Mark 2008/11/16 William G. Scott

It was rhetorical - why not just use autoconf to do all the dirty work? Like Lynn Ten Eyck says, autoconf configures dependences, it doesn't build them (AFAICS, anyway). Also, is the idea to migrate all of the scripting away from guile and towards python, No. or update the guile depende

FYI, IIUC, Morten Kjeldgaard has become a MOTU and is working on crystallographic libs for Ubuntu, e.g.: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clipper https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mmdb When he gets round to Coot I'm keen to help make his life easier. Regards, Paul. Mark Brooks wrote:

Re: [COOT] problem in coot installation in ubuntu

Hi Mark et al: The last coot I compiled on Ubuntu Hardy was coot-0.5-pre-1- revision-1003. I've been a bit distracted with other obligations. The last one I made into a debian package and put on our server was a 0.4-pre-2release, so I apologize. I keep the OS X fink debian packages

Re: [COOT] problem in coot installation in ubuntu

Hi, It may be useful to have a 'contrib' section for the Coot binary download web page (or even some unofficial web page), so that we have more options of binaries to test. For example, upon upgrading to Ubuntu Hardy Heron, Coot stopped working, for reasons beyond my understanding, but worked when

Re: [COOT] problem in coot installation in ubuntu

Having tried various forms of building Coot, and looked at several Linux and OS X system variants, I can assure you that an autoconf build would fail most of the time due to missing dependencies. Coot not only uses a lot of packages, it needs specific versions of many of these packages. T

Re: [COOT] problem in coot installation in ubuntu

Since Ubuntu has gotten to be popular (for good reason, IMO), it might be useful to have an official (or at least semi-official) debian package whose installation would guarantee all the dependencies also get installed. I've tried to do it in a half-arsed sort of way, but lately have dropped the b

Re: [COOT] problem in coot installation in ubuntu

Hi! Firstly, do you need to build coot at all? There are binary packages which work just fine on Gutsy. You can install them wherever you want on your system, and they should just work. Secondly, if for some reason you do want to build your own (you want to make changes to the code???), then
