My two cents: I am installing arp/warp on my Mac since ages and it works ;-)
The only thing you need to make sure is that you grab ownership of the /usr/local directory to you as a user, if you installed ccp4 from dmg. If you do this by eg sudo chown -R me.mygroup $CCP4 Then install.sh should work for arp/warp Package type installation for arp/warp is also possible technically, and it can be made available in the next release if it is agreed between developers that from now we will support system-specific installations and not only an all-in-one package as till now.
