Hi

I have managed to compile OpenBabel with the python bindings on my Mac by 
following the instructions on the OpenBabel website.  OpenBabel works fine form 
the command line, and I can import pybel into python.  However whenever I try 
to use pybel I get a segmentation error  For example:

>> import pybel
>> mol = pybel.readstring('smi', 'cccccc')

Gives

I have tried different smiles strings (some pulled from pubchem which render 
correctly in other programs) and I have also tried reading from and sdf file:

>> molfile = pybel.readfile('sdf', 'mymols.sdf')
>> mymol = molfile.next()

<segmentation fault>

Can anyone suggest what might be happening?  It would be great if I could get 
Pybel to work on the Mac.  I

Thanks
