#284 Problem with OpenBabel while trying to install Avogadro
Hi !
I'm working on Pardus 2008.2 and I have installed the latest version of OpenBabel (2.2.1) in order to compile and install Avogadro 0.9.3. Unfortunately, when I use the make command for Avogadro, I obtain the following lines :
portable build # make
[ 0%] Building CXX object libavogadro/src/CMakeFiles/avogadro-lib.dir/primitiveitemmodel.cpp.o

Discussion
It looks like CMake has not correctly found the OpenBabel include directory. In that case Avogadro will fail to compile very quickly. Where is OpenBabel installed? If you do a make VERBOSE=1 you will be able to see the added include directories (and check if OpenBabel's include directory is being correctly added).
While doing make VERBOSE=1, I see
-I/usr/include/openbabel
in the different lines that appeared in Konsole.
But I also obtained at the end the following message :
/home/seb/avogadro-0.9.3/libavogadro/src/molecule.cpp: In member function 'bool Avogadro::Molecule::setOBMol(OpenBabel::OBMol*)':
/home/seb/avogadro-0.9.3/libavogadro/src/molecule.cpp:1055: error: 'class OpenBabel::OBGridData' has no member named 'GetMaxVector'
Then you've got an old version of Open Babel installed, probably one of the 2.2.0 beta releases.
Do you have something installed in /usr/include/openbabel and /usr/local/include/openbabel?
If you compiled 2.2.1 from source code, it's likely in /usr/local/include/openbabel
(ping)
Can you give me more information on your Open Babel version? What happens when you run "babel -v"?
If I don't hear from you, I will close this bug as "works for me."
Pending any comment from the poster, this bug will close in 2 weeks. I'd be glad to help you troubleshoot your compilation, but the bug isn't in Open Babel or Avogadro. Make sure you're using the latest version of each.
