Sorry to hear that you're encountering problems with the install process. I think the primary problem is that you've downloaded a binary distribution of the RDKit. The binary distribs do not include all the files required to build the code. If you want to build it from scratch yourself, you need to get a source distribution. However, windows users do not generally need to build the code themselves: the binary you downloaded should work fine. The relevant instructions for getting the windows binaries working are here: http://code.google.com/p/rdkit/wiki/InstallingOnWindows > Admittedly, I am not knowledgeable enough to debug this procedure.

I will take a look at the windows install instructions again to see if I can make them more clear. The instructions that are there should (do?) work for windows 7 with a precompiled boost distribution since that's what I use whenever possible. -greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EMC VNX: the world's simplest storage, starting under $10K The only unified storage solution that offers unified management Up to 160% more powerful than alternatives and 25% more efficient.
