64-bit Fink for 10.6

Bootstrap Install from sourcecode for greater control
You can install a 64-bit fink to coexist with your current installation (although you can't use them in the same shell session). The following assumes you want to install everything in a directory called either /sw64 or /sw.
If you want to make use of my repositories, choose /sw64 .
If you have no other fink installation (no directory called /sw ), and you don't want to use my repositories, you are better off in the long run putting it in /sw.
How to Bootstrap-Install Fink-64bit
In a bash or zsh shell, issue the command
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@fink.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fink login [just hit return when prompted for password]
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@fink.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/fink co -P fink
Then do
cd fink ; ./bootstrap /sw64
if you want to make use of my precompiled binary distribution.
If you are happy to compile everything yourself, then you are better off with
cd fink ; ./bootstrap /sw
as appropriate.
For now on, I will use "/sw* " to mean "/sw or /sw64 as appropriate."
When it is done, edit /sw*/etc/fink.conf and change line 4 to look like this:
Trees: local/main stable/main stable/crypto unstable/main unstable/crypto
This activates the unstable branch.
Then issue
source /sw*/bin/init.sh fink selfupdate-cvs fink -y update-all fink scanpackages
Install x86_64 versions of crystallography software
The normal, official Fink way is to compile everything yourself. If you are in a hurry, you might find it easier to use my unofficial pre-compiled Fink binary distribution.
Using my Pre-Compiled Fink Packages
First you need to edit the /sw64/etc/apt/sources.list file and add the following three lines to the bottom of that file:
deb http://sage.ucsc.edu/fink_intel_10.6_64bit stable main crypto
deb http://sage.ucsc.edu/fink_intel_10.6_64bit unstable main crypto
deb http://sage.ucsc.edu/fink_intel_10.6_64bit local main
That's all you need, but more detailed information is located here: Getting your fink installation to use packages that I have pre-compiled
Now you can install fink packages that I have pre-compiled using the apt-get command. Here is an example for installing coot:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install coot
(The more or less equivalent fink -b install coot command doesn't work with a directory named anything other than /sw. Sorry for earlier claims to the contrary.)
Compiling it with Fink
This is the official Fink-approved way to do it:
To install coot, issue
source /sw*/bin/init.sh fink install coot
To install ccp4, issue
source /sw*/bin/init.sh fink install ccp4
You, or your shell startup files, need to issue
source /sw*/bin/init.sh
before running these programs, or
source /sw*/bin/init.csh
if you are a tcsh user.
