#415 cannot find forcefield

[Anonymous]

I'm running on Windows Vista Home Basic
I try this in MS-DOS command line:

C:\Users\yonatan>obenergy benzene.mol2

*** Open Babel Error in OpenBabel::OBForceFieldUFF::ParseParamFile
Cannot open UFF.prm
==============================
*** Open Babel Error in OpenBabel::OBForceFieldUFF::SetTypes
Cannot open UFF.prm
obenergy: could not setup force field.

C:\Users\yonatan>

I downloaded and installed Open babel v2.2.0 for windows

my e-mail is: jonatg01@gmail.com

thank you !

I also tried to install openbabel via cygwin
and try this:

yonatan@yonatan-PC ~
$ obenergy benzene.mol2
==============================
*** Open Babel Error in OpenBabel::OBForceFieldUFF::ParseParamFile
Cannot open UFF.prm
==============================
*** Open Babel Error in OpenBabel::OBForceFieldUFF::SetTypes
Cannot open UFF.prm
c:\Program Files\OpenBabel-2.2.0\obenergy.exe: could not setup force field.

yonatan@yonatan-PC ~
$

I think something is wrong with the installation !

Try setting an environment variable BABEL_DATADIR to the directory where OpenBabel was installed, probably, C:\Program Files\OpenBabel-2.2.0 . You can set environment variables in Control Panel/System/Advanced/Environment Variables. Post here again if this doesn't work.

The installer should have set BABEL_DATADIR, and it not doing so has caused other problems too. The installer OpenBabel2.2.0_Windows_Installer2.exe does set it.
