Re: [OpenBabel-scripting] java bindings installation question

[Noel O'B. <bao...@gm...>]

Hello Nathan,

If I understand you correctly, you are using the OpenBabel Java
bindings available from Cinfony along with OpenBabel 2.2.0 (the next
release of OpenBabel will include the Jar file directly). It shouldn't
be necessary to extract the jar file. Just add it to your CLASSPATH
and it should work.

Regarding making it all available to all users on the system, it is
just a question of setting the environment variables as described in
the README. If it works for you, it should work for other users in the
same way. The best way to test is to copy the test program to a new
directory, and see whether you can compile and run it there.

If it doesn't work for you, please describe exactly what OS you're
using, what commands you used, and where it failed.

Regards,
   Noel
