Same here.

The files do actually exist. I'm not sure that all the formats are
loaded correctly as the test-suite fails pretty miserably...I've
attached the first five minutes [not sent to mailing list].

No effect.

I have the same problem on Debian Sarge, for Python 2.3/2.4, even after
setting BABEL_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/openbabel. The files do exist: there
is an ".a",".la" and an ".so", for each.

Running 'file' on the .so:
/usr/local/lib/openbabel/xyzformat.so:         ELF 32-bit LSB shared
object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

I also added /usr/local/lib/openbabel to LD_LIBRARY_PATH with no
improvement.
