CCP4-6.1.0 on Ubuntu Ibex
From OS X Scientific Computing
There has been some discussion about getting ccp4-6.1.0 working on Ubuntu Ibex.
Here is one approach that should work with minimal hassles.

Install Ubuntu Dependencies and my bltwish
You need to install Ubuntu's packages tcl, tk, blt, gfortran, python, gsl-bin, firefox, libxml2 and probably some other stuff I've missed.
sudo apt-get install blt gfortran gsl-bin firefox libxml2
should do it. Or you can use the gui synaptic.
Ubuntu won't supply bltwish. To get around this, install mine like this:
wget http://diablo.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/debian/deb/ccp4/bltwish-2.4z-unofficial_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i bltwish-2.4z-unofficial_i386.deb
(or you can just double-click on the link and let the gui install it).
Install ActiveTcl
I installed ActiveTcl8.4.19.1.286921-linux-ix86 from the ActiveTcl website. I picked this one because it is the most recent in the version 8.4.X series. The ubuntu version of tcl/tk is currently 8.4.19, so this seemed consistent. I have no idea whether this is important or not.
I have nothing in the /opt directory. The installer script ( ./install.sh ) offers to install into /opt/ActiveTcl-8.4 by default, so I agreed. I agreed to all the defaults. When the installer finishes, it will put its version of wish in /opt/ActiveTcl-8.4/bin/wish. The installer advises you to put the /opt/ActiveTcl-8.4/bin directory in your $PATH. Ignore this advice. Just install it, and do nothing until we get to part 4.
The reason NOT to put this in /usr or /usr/local or anywhere else in your $PATH is that you DON'T want this interfering with your default installation. No one has to know about this except imosflm.
Install my CCP4-6.1.0 debian package
This installs into /usr/local/xtal/ccp4-6.1.0 and creates a symbolic link to /usr/local/xtal/ccp4
I've put in a more recent version of refmac, refmac-5.5.0070, since the distributed version was reported to be problematic. I renamed the old one to refmac5-5.5.0066 if for some reason you want to use it.
To install this,
wget http://diablo.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/debian/deb/ccp4/ccp4_6.1.0-1_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i ccp4_6.1.0-1_i386.deb
Source the appropriate file for your shell
source /usr/local/xtal/ccp4-6.1.0/include/ccp4.setup-bash
or
source /usr/local/xtal/ccp4-6.1.0/include/ccp4.setup-zsh
or
source /usr/local/xtal/ccp4-6.1.0/include/ccp4.setup-csh
