After banging my head against the wall trying to get CCP4, SSM, MMDB and clipper installed in a multilib environment, I gave up and spent a few hours reconfiguring all the libraries to abide by GNU coding standards. So, if you'd like, feel free to download: ccp4c / ccp4f, mmdb, ssm and clipper from: http://www.stanford.edu/~fenn/linux/packages.html which all include pkg-config support, spec file support (for building rpms under fedora, my major incentive) and are all built using automake/autoconf/libtool with library versioning. I made a few changes in the process: clipper is only one library: libclipper. I felt having a library for every filetype supported probably wouldn't scale well. ;) clipper doesn't include cctbx support - thats a whole other beast I haven't tackled yet. I'd also like to try and get the packages accepted in the fedora-extras repositories, which is only one additional step beyond this point. However, I'm afraid the CCP4 license may not allow for it, if I'm reading it correctly. It seems the library is LGPL-ish, but only for academic users - is this true? If so, Fedora won't let their repository system near it. Otherwise, I'd *gladly* continue depositing rpms to fedora-extras with other programs that depend on the above (coot, ccp4mg, etc.), so one day I could just run: yum/smart install coot ccp4mg on my stock fedora boxen, let yum/smart pull in all the dependencies and be done with it. And given the build system, it would be a cinch to migrate everything to ubuntu, debian, RHEL, etc., and potentially save a few minutes of your system administrator's time. ;) Alternatively, it might be useful for some of the above to be incorporated in the "official" releases.
