Debian 6.0.2 64-bit. Yes, I have OpenBabel installed globally using apt-get because there are several packages that depend on it. I also have it locally. PYTHONPATH now points to the locally installed version, but I was getting the same error before defining the environmental variable PYTHONPATH. In fact, I performed a local install because I was having problems with the global one. The program is running fine (both versions). The only problem appears to be the Python bindings.
