Hello John,

with Debian and therefore probably also Ubuntu, bltwish is placed within a library.

You can install the package blt, but than you have to modify the scripts in $CCP4/ccp4i/bin

Try the following:
        cd $CCP4/ccp4i/bin
        grep -l bltwish *
then edit each file that 'grep' lists and replace 'bltwish' with 'wish'. That's worked for me.

As for coot, the script that starts coot (type 'which coot' to find out the full path) uses the variables COOT_PREFIX and current_exe_dir.

The top of the coot-script looks something like

-------------------------------------------
current_exe_dir=`dirname $0`
echo current_exe_dir is $current_exe_dir

if [ $current_exe_dir = . ] ; then
  COOT_PREFIX=`dirname $PWD`
else
  COOT_PREFIX=`dirname "$current_exe_dir"`
fi
<------------------------------------------

These lines don't work if the coot-script is placed e.g. in /usr/local/bin (at least they don't for me)

remove all those lines and replace them with
        COOT_PREFIX=/path/to/where/coot/is/installed
        current_exe_dir=/path/to/where/coot/is/installed/bin
that should hopefully work.

Hope this helps, Tim

Dear Tim,

Thanks for your reply... i tried installing using RH8 binaries.. that
complained about bltwish.. then i tried using the bil's deb package.. but
that also doesnt seems to be working... when i sourced the ccp4.setup file
and tried the command line... no luck...

not found and guile not found.. in fact i tried putting set path to check
but no luck..

things...

That sounds as though you have problems installing ccp4. Can you specify
them?
- If you use the precompiled version of ccp4, it should run on 64bit
 machines
- if you compiled from source, there should be no problems at
 all. What you do need, though, is a number of developer packages so the
 header files and libraries required for compilation are found. I
 don't know if there is a comprehensive list of developer packages you
 need for compilation
