#468 Build problems

[Gabriele Lanaro]

I have problem in compiling avogadro from cryos/git repository
http://github.com/cryos/avogadro/tree/a8e0f19b9063a792df452cddf761457355e46b07.

Error on gamesssyntaxhighlighter.cpp:
The compiler gets stuck and the cpu is at 100%.
[ 67%] Building CXX object libavogadro/src/extensions/quantuminput/CMakeFiles/gamessextension.dir/gamesshighlighter.cpp.o

Even if I launch with make -j3 I obtain this error:

I'm on an archlinux 64 bit, tell me if you need info about versions
Tell me if you need other info

[Konstantin Tokarev]

Try my branch git://github.com/annulen/avogadro.git
It should work

[Gabriele Lanaro]

I've checked your branch, there isn't the error, but the gamesshighlight still hangs.
However the avogadro binary is produced (I'm opening another report because I have still problems)

[David Lonie]

Tim -- can you see if you can track down what's happening in python?

Gabriele -- Do you still see this problem with cryos/master? If so, try disabling python in cmake (cmake -DENABLE_PYTHON=0). Does it compile then?

[Marcus D. Hanwell]

I have verified that Avogadro currently builds on Arch Linux with Python. Closing this bug, please reopen/open another if you still see issues with 1.0 or master head. A new release should be out soon with these fixes.
