Is not a stupid question at all...

r...@thema:/biodata2/software/openbabel-2.2.3# locate smilesformat.so

/biodata2/software/openbabel-2.2.3/src/formats/.libs/smilesformat.so
/biodata2/software/openbabel-2.2.3/src/formats/.libs/smilesformat.soT
/usr/local/lib/openbabel/2.2.3/smilesformat.so

--- The /biodata2/software/openbabel-2.2.3 directory is the installation
directory (no "other" permissions)

-rwxr-x--- 1 root root 918770 2010-03-24
12:47 /biodata2/software/openbabel-2.2.3/src/formats/.libs/smilesformat.so

--- And /usr/local/lib/openbabel is the installation itself and there
are the proper permissions for "others"

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 918770 2010-03-24
13:03 /usr/local/lib/openbabel/2.2.3/smilesformat.so


So, should i change the installation directory permissions and
reinstall? why the executable "babel" looks for this files instead of
the installed files on /usr/local/lib/openbabel/2.2.3 with "other"
permissions? am i missing something?

Thank you for your help!!!
