[ccp4bb]: ccp4 version 4.2.1 Mac OSX mountable disk image

A binary distribution of CCP4 for Mac OSX is available as a 
gzipped mountable disk image at the usual location

ftp://ftp.ccp4.ac.uk/pub/ccp4/4.2.1/binaries/

Upon download the disk image will be gunzipped and mounted.  To install
copy the ccp4-4.2.1 folder to the desired location, edit
include/ccp4.setup to reflect your environment and then source the file,
then run $CCP4/BINARY.setup to check the installation and go through
the licensing agreement.

To use the X programs you will have to seperately obtain Xfree86
from:

fink: http://fink.sourceforge.net/

osxgnu: http://www.osxgnu.org/software/Xwin/

XonX: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xonx/

etc

Also, to use ccp4i tcl, tk and blt will have to be installed.  Fink
currently has tcl8.3.3 and tk8.3.3 as part of the main distribution,
and blt2.4y as part of the cvs branch (fink selfupdate -cvs).

Note: the rasmol build is 8-bit, so probably will not work.

The ccp4 Mac problems page is at

this needs some updating.  Other useful links are
