On the scalepack download site there are multiple versions of the latest version. drwxrwxr-x 20 root presiden 4096 Jun 2 12:27 archive drwxr-xr-x 4 iwona presiden 4096 Jul 17 2008 ver_098.698s drwxr-xr-x 2 iwona presiden 4096 Apr 3 2009 ver_098.699SM drwxr-xr-x 3 iwona presiden 4096 May 23 2009 ver_098.699a drwxr-xr-x 3 iwona presiden 4096 Oct 1 2009 ver_098.699f drwxr-xr-x 3 iwona presiden 4096 Mar 31 2010 ver_098.699k2 drwxr-xr-x 3 iwona presiden 4096 Aug 6 10:33 ver_098.699m 226 Listing completed.
Thanks to Wladek Minor for telling me to use the latest version (and reminding me that 66% of recent structures in the PDB are solved using HKL), and to Tim Gruene for specifying HKL2000-0.98.699m. I have verified that this works. I was using the .699a version which I downloaded this spring. Also thanks to others for general advice on getting packages that apt-get may not know about, and to Petr Leiman for providing a tarball. eab Tim Gruene wrote:
Dear Edward, the latest version of HKL2000 does not require libg2c.so anymore: t...@shelx8:/usr/local/bin$ ldd scalepack linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf7744000) libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7702000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib32/libcrypt.so.1 (0xf76d0000) libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf757e000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf7571000) libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf756c000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7745000) This is for HKL2000-0.98.699m which I downloaded end of September. In case you do need libg2c.so, one resource for finding the package you are looking for might also be http://packages.debian.org, because the packages ubuntu uses might have similar names as the Debian ones, but I am not totally sure about this.

I understand this is absent from modern distributions because gcc discontinued support for g77 and f2c in recent releases. However on fedora there are compatibility packages like compat-libf2c which allow running old executables compiled with g77. Is something like this available for ubuntu? Or is there some other trick to get scalepack running? I understand ubuntu is used by many crystallographers, and while I'm sure most of them use mosflm or XDS, I'm sure someone has tried setting up denzo/scalepack. the system: Linux xxxxx 2.6.31-22-generic #65-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 16 15:48:58 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux gcc (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) 4.4.1 Thanks, eab
