Hi,

Was this an install from executables, or from source?

I have just installed Ubuntu Gutsy on my laptop (everything including
wireless worked out of the box - I think Ubuntu is great for people who
want to simply use computers).

I installed CCP4 6.0.2 with the automatic installer from the CCP4
website, using the redhat executables, and used the 'everything' option
(why compile when someone else has already done this for you?).

After I put the setup command in my .cshrc (using tcsh - old habit), the
system is slightly broken: python is installed by CCP4 in /usr/local/lib
and this is version 2.4

Some of the system administration interfaces (like for printing) expect
python 2.5 and fail with a 'libglade.so missing' error when python 2.4
takes over. This took me quite a while to discover.

I have not fully worked out whether python 2.4 is essential for ccp4:
after deleting it from /usr/local/bin everything I have used (interface
included) still seems to work.
