Hi everyone:

I am wondering what sort of experiences people are having with CCP4 
programs and others on OS X.

Some of my friends, recognizing that I am a slobbering Mac fan, have 
been asking me for advice, so I have made a feeble attempt
at a web page for them and whomever else might be interested:

http://chemistry.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/crystallography_on_OS_X.html

However I worry that my advice might be out of date or there might be 
much better ways of doing things.

Specifically, following directions at http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/ccb/ I have 
compiled many of the CCP4 programs, but there are still several that I 
haven't been able to get to compile, using g77 v. 2.95 and the mac 
"native" cc compiler.

Also, despite being able to compile CNS 1.1 with g77, we've been having 
major difficulties using the Absoft fortran compiler, which I would 
really like to do in order to take advantage of our two processors.  Has 
anyone had success with this?

Many thanks in advance.

Bill Scott
