Good - then the server should know already about the location of CCP4
et al.

The server takes all the relvant information from files (*.setup) in
the directory

  $BDG_home/machines/XYZ

where

  $BDG_home = installatio directory
  XYZ = machine name (i.e. what 'hostname -s' gives you)

There should be a file ccp4.setup that contains all the relvant
information for CCP4 - independent of the fink init.sh etc.

* Maybe that information in there isn't correct?

* Or did you install ('installSHARP -F') in an incomplete
  environement?  I.e. did you do the '. /sw/bin/init.sh' _before_
  running 'installSHARP -F'?

  It is highly recommended to have all external programs setup
  correctly before running the recommended

    % installSHARP -F

  This way a minimum of questions wil be asked - ideally only one
  (email address) and everything else is taken from the current
  environment. There might be some things missing (XtalView, MAPMAN) -
  but these are only needed under special cirumstances (using O or
  XtalView for viewing) and could be ignored ...

* What does $BDG_home/sushi/logs/error_log has to say? Any meaningful
  message?

Cheers

Clemens
