Thanks Noel, it does seem to be working OK. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but the reason I installed OpenBabel 2.3.0 is because it's required by the program Sieve.
I am now encountering problems trying to install version 3.0.3 of this software. I realise this is only OpenBabel-related, but I figure there might be people on this list who have tried Sieve as well. Here is what I am trying, in /usr/local/sieve-3.0.3/: cmake CMakeLists.txt make make install make clean There appears to be no warning or errors, but when I try to run /usr/local/bin/sieve I get: /usr/local/bin/sieve: error while loading shared libraries: libopenbabel.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This file is located here: /usr/local/lib/libopenbabel.so.4 Does anyone know how to tell Sieve where it is? I've tried to edit the file /usr/local/sieve-3.0.3/CMakeCache.txt with various alternatives, to no avail. cheers, Doug Quoting Noel O'Boyle <baoille...@gmail.com>: > It's all fine.
