I usually install crystallographic software as administrator using
sudo under /usr/local/xtal and make it readable/executable for all
users. This is sufficient in my experience.
Best regards,
Dirk.

I've not found it necessary to activate root. I've installed quite a
lot of stuff in /usr/local but found it useful to make /usr/local
belong to me (sudo chown -R <me> /usr/local). With fink, I use sudo
& not found it inconvenient (you can use "sudo -s" to go into admin
mode until further notice), but I suppose there is no reason not to
make /sw belong to you, except that it increases the chances of
messing something up by mistake
