Hi Noel
Thanks for your e-mail.
Unfortunately, not only was BABEL_DATADIR not created (I did check via
starting a fresh command prompt and typing echo "%BABEL_DATADIR%"), but it
appeared to be the case that the \data\ subdirectory containing mr.txt was
not physically created either. A search of my machine did not locate mr.txt
in any other location, either.
If you cannot reproduce this, I would note that my build of Windows 7 is
non-standard. Does it sound plausible to you that this could cause this
kind of problem? I cannot supply further details about my build,
however, as this was set up by IT support at work. It is also the case that
I need permission before permenantly changing any environment variables or
installing Python modules - so I apologise for any delay in responding to
any solutions you might suggest.
However, I believe that the problem is version specific: I have since
been able to successfully install Open Babel version 2.3.0 using
OpenBabel2.3.0a_Windows_Installer.exe. (I should note that this installer
did not automatically set BABEL_DATADIR either, but - as the \data\
subdirectory *was* created by *this* installer, it was possible to just set
this manually.)
Many thanks in advance for any clarification you can provide.
Best regards
Richard
