I am please to announce a distribution of some standard libraries for
crystallography, provided in a standard, standalone form, suitable
for modern package managers. The libraries can be installed via the
GNU autoconf idiom: "configure; make; make install".
The gpp4 library is a version of the CCP4 library modified and
packaged to provide a special version of the CCP4 library, released
under the Lesser GNU Public License version 2.1. The last version of
the CCP4 library covered by a free license was version 5.0.2. This
version was patched by Ralf Grosse-Kunstleve to address some of the
more serious deficiencies of the older libraries.
It is this patched version of the CCP4 library that forms the basis
for this distribution, which includes a GNU autotools build
environment developed by Paul Emsley and Morten Kjeldgaard.
Further modification has been carried out to make the gpp4 library
completely standalone so it does not require a parallel installation
of the CCP4 suite.
The reason for creating this public fork of the CCP4 libraries is
that several third party software distributions depend on the CCP4
libraries. Such projects can make use of the gpp4 library without
restrictions.
Instructions for download, compilation and installation can be found at
http://www.bioxray.dk/~mok/ggp4.php
Also available from the site are RPMs, Debian packages and Fink .info
files to allow building fink packages for Mac OS X.
In addition, versions of Eugene Krissinels mmdb and ssm libraries
have been packaged and modified so they can be compiled and installed
in a standard manner with GNU auto building tools. These libraries
can be found at
http://www.bioxray.dk/~mok/mmdb.php
http://www.bioxray.dk/~mok/ssm.php
The ssm library requires mmdb. Also here, RPMs etc. can be downloaded.
Enjoy,
Morten
