Hello Richard, Please note first of all that openbabel-scripting is officially dead. I'm sending this openbabel-discuss instead.
You were looking at the docs for 2.3.0. See the current ones: http://openbabel.org/docs/current/UseTheLibrary/PythonInstall.html The new location of the DATA folder is listed. You say that BABEL_DATADIR was not created. Are you sure? Close the command-prompt window, and start a new one. Does echo "%BABEL_DATADIR%" still not work? If so, we need to sort it out. - Noel On 24 August 2012 14:00, Richard Marchese Robinson <rmarcheserobin...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > > I was trying to install Open Babel version 2.3.1 on a machine running > Windows 7. > > I ran OpenBabel2.3.1_Windows_Installer.exe and was informed the installation > had finished successfully, allowing me to start the GUI. > > Since BABEL_DATADIR had not been created, I went to manually set this to the > location of the directory containing mr.txt (based upon the instructions for > testing the installation presented here: > http://openbabel.org/docs/2.3.0/UseTheLibrary/PythonInstall.html). > > However, the \data\ subdirectory had not been created under C:\Program Files > (x86)\OpenBabel 2.3.1\ > Indeed, I could not locate mr.txt anywhere. > > A quick Google search does not seem to suggest that this has been removed > from version 2.3.1.... so I assume there was a problem with running the > installer. > > Any clarification / suggestions as to why this might have occured / possible > ways to fix this would be greatly appreciated. > > Thanks in advance. > > Regards > > Richard Marchese Robinson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
