Re: [OpenBabel-scripting] OpenBabel and Chemistry::OpenBabel

[Strempel S. <seb...@ch...>]

Dear Geoffrey,

thank you for your fast response. The contents in "./scripts/perl" can be compiled indeed.
However "make test" fails on every single test. Make install seems to work and copies the files
but a test with your example.pl tells me that:

Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i686-linux/auto/Chemistry/OpenBabel/OpenBabel.so' for module Chemistry::OpenBabel: libopenbabel.so.3:

The contents of the directory "/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i686-linux/auto/Chemistry/OpenBabel/" are:

-r--r--r-- 1 root root       0  5. Sep 09:35 OpenBabel.bs
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2725483  5. Sep 09:35 OpenBabel.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root     246  5. Sep 10:10 .packlist

So Chemistry::OpenBabel seems ok but not its dependent libraries. 

Where is my error or misunderstanding? 
Shall I wait for the next release as you proposed?
Thank you again for your time and help.

Sebastian

Dear Sebastian,

The OpenBabel scripting modules are updated with every release of the  
main library. Particularly with Perl, it's difficult for the scripting  
module to detect which version of the library is installed.

In short, Chemistry::OpenBabel is at 1.3 -- this corresponds to the  
OB-2.2 release. If you've compiled the release from source, go into  
the scripts/perl directory and you'll find the appropriate Perl module.

Cheers,
-Geoff
