[ccp4bb]: Re: Mosflm on OSX and the pain of the Mac OS 10.2.x downgrade

Hi Chris:

I am certainly no expert, but I believe it's actually a CCP4 non-error.

To make matters worse, had you forgot to source your new ccp4.setup file, but instead used your previous one from the compilation under 10.1.x, you would NOT get this message because it would be linking to the old, no longer fully functional, libraries. But the build would have major problems if it didn't fail outright.


There are several major bugs in 10.2. The biggest cockroach I have come across so far is drag and drop freezing up completely for people, even surviving a reinstall of the operating system. It is complete paralysis. This happened to me once and it went away on a reboot, but it sounds pretty bad.

Have a look at this litany of sob-stories: http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?50@36.GSbtacI7eLG.2@.3bbabe0a

I'd have to say at this point I would recommend to other people not to "upgrade" to 10.2 or 10.2.1 until they manage to fix the worst bugs.

Apple is being pretty idiotic about this and is pretending there is no problem. OS X, v. 10.1.5 functioned very well, but they got greedy and released this half-baked hyped-up "upgrade" that they clearly didn't bother to beta-test to any significant degree. It breaks loads of applications like end-note, and they are just going to drive 3rd party application vendors away from the platform if they keep pulling the rug out from under them like this.

Well good luck with it. You can always go back to 10.1.5 if things get too ugly.

Bill,

I’ve followed your instructions to the letter, have my tcltk and blt in /sw/bin/ and everything else in place.  However, when I ran the configure script for CCP4 under 10.2, I got the following message in the ipmosflm configure section:

checking for qisnan in -lccp4... no
configure: WARNING:
*** Can't find the CCP4 library against which to link.
*** You can set the environment variable CCP4_LIB to point to the right

I don’t know if this is the fatal error or not, but I do know that the first time I tried recompiling CCP4, I got a whackload of error messages during compilation, and it finally crapped out at mosflm.  Did you notice this?  I’ve tried everything, from unpacking just the libraries again and can’t get it to not give me this message.  I’m going to try to compile it tonight and check it again on Monday.  I can’t believe how frustrating this has become, just as I was getting to really enjoy OSX!  To paraphrase someone on the OSX discussions pages, I could have spent a lot less money on a PC and gotten the same amount of aggravation!

Thanks,

Chris
