A plea from West Australia too.
I was sitting with someone yesterday who was trying to install it on a Mac
, and finding it a nightmare. 
He finally got it set up as a local installation, whereupon it promtly
failed. 
The message said See refmac-last.log but that told us nothing, and indeed
refmac seemed to have worked..

Can someone - either CCP4 or  arp-warp people check this out?
