Hello,
I'm one of the ARP/wARP developers. Sorry for the slow reply - this is down to time differences. I'll install RHEL6 and try the ARP/wARP install and then report back. This may take a day or so though.
My suspicion, based on previous bug reports, is that this problem is related to the TCL installation. The UnpackTaskArchive subroutine is part of the CCP4 API:
http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/ccp4/ccp4i/help/programmers/progdocs/install_utils.html#UnpackTaskArchive
We've found that the behaviour of this call is dependent on TCL versions and that we have problems installing on 64bit fink (OSX) because the version of TCL. When I download and install CCP4 onto Ubuntu or SUSE I get a big package (>1GB) that contains CCP4 and a compatible version of TCL. The CCP4 installation then adds the following calls to my .bashrc:
source /home/saul/ccp4-linux-6.2.0/setup-scripts/sh/ccp4.setup
source /home/saul/ccp4-linux-6.2.0/setup-scripts/sh/ccp4-others.setup
The ccp4-others.setup pulls in the correct TCL environment. Is your installation of CCP4 similar?
Thanks for reporting this problem - it will hopefully improve future versions of ARP/wARP.
