I've got a rather weird problem when trying to run arp/warp. When trying to run arp/warp (latest version 7.0.1) it complains that I should install a newer version of Refmac (5.4.0045). The version of Refmac I have installed is 5.4.0066, and thats what is being used if I run Refmac both from terminal or via CCP4i. However, when arp/warp starts to run it magically finds a refmac 5.2.something and uses that. Reinstalling arp/warp did not help, even though the install script showed that I had refmac 5.4.0066 installed... I'm running OS X 10.5.2 and have installed ccp4 and refmac via fink. All other CCP4 programs work fine and Refmac runs normally as well, it's only when it's called from arp/warp that something goes wrong.. All ideas to fix this problem are most welcome.
This is an interesting feature of the Fink CCP4/Refmac installation. When you install the new refmac in Fink, you get an executable called refmac-5.4, which lives in /sw/share/xtal/ccp4-6.0.2/bin. The refmac5 that you get from the terminal lives in /sw/bin and is a symbolic link to this executable. However, in /sw/share/xtal/ccp4-6.0.2/bin there still lurks an executable refmac5, and this is version 5.2.0019. When you run ARP/wARP from the GUI, it seems that this is the executable that it uses - hence the version warnings. In our experience, this also breaks flex-wARP when run through the GUI.
Whether this is just a symptom of the way I use Fink to install things, or whether it's a problem for everyone, I don't know. I have a solution to this, although it may not be the most elegant one. I move the old refmac5 out of the way, and create a new symbolic link
mv /sw/share/xtal/ccp4-6.0.2/bin/refmac5 /sw/share/xtal/ ccp4-6.0.2/bin/refmac5.old ln -s /sw/share/xtal/ccp4-6.0.2/bin/refmac-5.4 /sw/share/xtal/ ccp4-6.0.2/bin/refmac5
