Working with a fresh OpenBabel 2.2.3 installation... There are no
diferences related with BABEL* variables, they are not defined. PATH: i
"force" to run the same executable (there is one babel installation at
this time), and i retrieve different outputs with different users.

A problem detected: with a non-root user, i retrieve a "formats is not a
recognized plugin type" with babel -H command

--- --- ---With a non-root user,

/usr/local/bin/babel -H
Open Babel converts chemical structures from one file format to another

Usage: babel <input spec> <output spec> [Options]
Conversion options
-f <#> Start import at molecule # specified
-l <#> End import at molecule # specified
-e Continue with next object after error, if possible
-z Compress the output with gzip
-k Attempt to translate keywords
-H Outputs this help text
-Hxxx (xxx is file format ID e.g. -Hcml) gives format info
-Hall Outputs details of all formats
-V Outputs version number
-L <BaseType> Lists plugin classes of this type
    e.g. <fingerprints>, or <plugins> for a list of BaseTypes
-m Produces multiple output files, to allow:
   Splitting: e.g.        babel infile.mol new.smi -m
     puts each molecule into new1.smi new2.smi etc
   Batch conversion: e.g. babel *.mol -osmi -m
     converts each input file to a .smi file
The following file formats are recognized:

formats is not a recognized plugin type [<= HERE HERE HERE]

Those with instances of sub-types loaded are:
descriptors
fingerprints
forcefields
loaders
ops

See further specific info and options using -H<format-type>, e.g. -Hcml
