Dear CCP4 users. There has been an issue with the latest CCP4 Update 53, which affects Mac OS X and Linux users if: - the update was installed before Sunday 18th of March 22:30 GMT - and CCP4 installation is password-protected.
Should these apply to you, the best way to deal with the faulty update is as follows: (1) Start Update Manage from the command line using sudo or as root. For example, If CCP4 environment is sourced, the following command will work sudo -E ccp4um Otherwise you will have to specify full path to ccp4um. For example, for most of Mac OS X users, the right command will be as follows sudo /Applications/ccp4-7.0/bin/ccp4um (2) In the Update Manager window: "Next"; uncheck the check box next to 7.0.053; "Apply". (3) After the above two steps your CCP4 installation will be back to normal and you will be able to reapply update 53 and to apply all subsequent updates in a usual way. Apologies for any inconvenience caused and best wishes Andrey
