Hello,
  I'm one of the ARP/wARP developers. Sorry for the slow reply - this is down 
to time differences. I'll install RHEL6 and try the ARP/wARP install and then 
report back. This may take a day or so though.

My suspicion, based on previous bug reports, is that this problem is related to 
the TCL installation. The UnpackTaskArchive subroutine is part of the CCP4 API:

http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/ccp4/ccp4i/help/programmers/progdocs/install_utils.html#UnpackTaskArchive

We've found that the behaviour of this call is dependent on TCL versions and 
that we have problems installing on 64bit fink (OSX) because the version of 
TCL. When I download and install CCP4 onto Ubuntu or SUSE I get a big package 
(>1GB) that contains CCP4 and a compatible version of TCL. The CCP4 
installation then adds the following calls to my .bashrc:

source /home/saul/ccp4-linux-6.2.0/setup-scripts/sh/ccp4.setup
source /home/saul/ccp4-linux-6.2.0/setup-scripts/sh/ccp4-others.setup

The ccp4-others.setup pulls in the correct TCL environment. Is your 
installation of CCP4 similar?

Thanks for reporting this problem - it will hopefully improve future versions 
of ARP/wARP.
