Hi Riccardo, Finally with all the hints you gave I got it working.
I used these settings and files: cmake ../openbabel-2.3.2 -DEIGEN2_INCLUDE_DIR=/home/peter/lib/eigen-eigen-b23437e61a07 -DPYTHON_BINDINGS=ON -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python26 -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib64/python2.6/config/libpython2.6.so -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/python2.6 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/peter/tools/openbabel -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG So thanks Noel and Riccardo for all your help and time.

If we come up to anything you can always post a summary on the list. I think you should try a little bit more with the python 2.6 package from EPEL: On Wed, Mar 13, 2013 at 4:39 PM, Peter Maas <peter.m...@specs.net> wrote: > For the program I want to test I need python 2.6 or higher anyway so > next I tried to download a rpm as Riccardo suggested. > wget > http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/x86_64/python26-2.6.8-2.el5.x86 > _64.rpm > > rpm -ivh python26-2.6.8-2.el5.x86_64.rpm I think you also need the corresponding -devel package: python26-devel-2.6.8-2.el5.x86_64.rpm This should provide the python headers and the python library (under /usr/lib64): $ rpm -qpl python26-devel-2.6.8-2.el5.x86_64.rpm |grep libpython /usr/lib64/libpython2.6.so /usr/lib64/python2.6/config/libpython2.6.so (sorry for not thinking about this second package in my first message). > # > PYTHON_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.6/config/libpython2.6.a and this library is not from the rpm, I suspect it's a residual from an earlier installation, HTH, please let me know if the problem persists.
