Re: [Open Babel] Problem for compiling the example files

2013-11-19 Thread Nicolas Cheron
Hello,

I want to give an update of my problem in case other people face it in the
future. I solved it only partially. Here is what I did, after installing on
Virtualbox a clean Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 64bits system, and downloading the
openbabel source (I tried with 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 the same procedure):

tar zxf openbabel-2.3.2.tar.gz
sudo apt-get install g++ cmake wx-common wx2.8-headers libwxbase2.8-dev
libxml2-dev zlib1g-dev libeigen2-dev libcairo2-dev python-dev libperl-dev
mkdir Programs
mkdir Programs/Openbabel_2.3.2
cd openbabel-2.3.2/
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/nicolas/Programs/Openbabel_2.3.2
-DBUILD_GUI=OFF
make
make install
make test

The "make test" output was: "100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 58". I
tried "obabel Aspirin.smi -O Aspirin.png --gen2D" (where Aspirin.smi is a
file with only "O=C(Oc1c1C(=O)O)C   Aspirin") and I get the good png
scheme. So the installation of openbabel was successfull and is not the
problem.

I copied the Quickstart example found here
http://openbabel.org/docs/current/UseTheLibrary/CppExamples.html in an
example.cpp file.

1) I then created a "Makefile" file with :

CC = g++
CFLAGS = -c -I /home/nicolas/Programs/Openbabel_2.3.1/include/openbabel-2.0
LDFLAGS = -lopenbabel -L /home/nicolas/Programs/Openbabel_2.3.1/lib

all: example

example: example.o
$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) example.o -o example

example.o: example.cpp
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) example.cpp

clean:
rm -rf example.o example


After typing "make", the compilation fails with the error previously
reported :

/tmp/cc2kfqde.o: In function `main':
example.cpp:(.text+0x120): undefined reference to
`OpenBabel::OBConversion::OBConversion(std::istream*, std::ostream*)'
example.cpp:(.text+0x139): undefined reference to
`OpenBabel::OBConversion::SetInAndOutFormats(char const*, char const*)'
example.cpp:(.text+0x165): undefined reference to
`OpenBabel::OBConversion::Convert()'
example.cpp:(.text+0x19e): undefined reference to
`OpenBabel::OBConversion::~OBConversion()'
example.cpp:(.text+0x1e1): undefined reference to
`OpenBabel::OBConversion::~OBConversion()'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status 

2) I created a "CMakeLists.txt" file with:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
add_executable(example example.cpp)
target_link_libraries(example
/home/nicolas/Programs/Openbabel_2.3.1/lib/libopenbabel.so)
include_directories(/home/nicolas/Programs/Openbabel_2.3.1/include/openbabel-2.0)


After typing "cmake" then "make", the file compiles. So I can compile and
use the openbabel library for my project. However, I don't understant why it
doesn't work directly with Makefile (and I would prefer use Makefile instead
of cmake). Does anyone have an idea of why, and how to modify the Makefile
to make it work?

Thank you

Nicolas

When running "make" with the CMakeLists.txt, use instead "VERBOSE=1
make" and you can see the commands to g++. This may help answer your
questions.

Re: [Open Babel] Problem for compiling the example files

2013-11-19 Thread rafel israels
Hi Nicolas,

in my case (also Ubuntu)  the problem was that I had to move the 
-lopenbabel  to the end of the line. Seems like your's might be the same
problem ?

Also I'd recommend to split your command in two, first a compile and then
the linking command. That way it's easier to locate problems. The following
should work ?

g++ -I /home/nicolas/Programmes/OpenBabel-2.3.2/include/openbabel-2.0 -c
example.cpp
g++ -L /home/nicolas/Programmes/OpenBabel-2.3.2/lib  example.cpp -o example
-lopenbabel

regards,

Rafel

[Open Babel] Openbabel system library compiled for Centos

Dear All,

Currently we are developing a Java application in Cent OS, and facing 
difficulty to integrate Openbabel API:

I have attached Sample Test Code, Errors received and System library file

Appreciate if someone can guide us to overcome this issue. If possible, Could 
someone provide me a working bundle of '.so' files, compiled for CentOS?

The first thing to check is whether your CentOS system came with OpenBabel
already installed. A common reason for this error is that there are two
versions of OpenBabel, one that comes with Linux (OpenBabel is included
with many Linux distributions), and one that you compiled yourself.  Your
Java program could be compiled against one version (probably the version
you installed), but at run time, it's linking to the pre-installed version
of OpenBabel.

[Open Babel] baPHPel

2013-11-19 Thread Maciek Wójcikowski
Hello,

I'd like to share with you my work involving PHP OpenBabel bindings:
baPHPel. Basically it's pybel for php, and was intended to be as close
API-wise as possible. So now you can do in php:

https://github.com/mwojcikowski/openbabel/commit/288011f9b0672fb53e83423235dfa87580be442b
There are few things missing which I intend to fix asap (mainly involving
forcefields and fingerprints) due to SWIG errors.

Any thoughts/ideas?

Specifically, EPEL has OpenBabel 2.2.3. According to
http://openbabel.org/dev-api/classOpenBabel_1_1OBEnergyConformerScore.shtml#_details
OBEnergyConformerScore is "Since: 2.3", so if you compiled with 2.3.1
and are running with with 2.2.3, "undefined symbol:
_ZTVN9OpenBabel22OBEnergyConformerScoreE" sounds about right.

[Open Babel] Announcement: ChemicalToolBox

2013-11-19 Thread bjoern.gruen...@googlemail.com
ChemcialToolBox: A Galaxy of cheminformatic tools in a web browser

I am very happy to finally announce the first release of
ChemicalToolBox!

ChemicalToolBox (CTB) is an open source project that aims for
reproducible, transparent and easy accessible cheminformatic research.
It is based on the Galaxy [1] framework and can be installed on all unix
like platforms. CTB integrates several cheminformatic toolkits and
tools, like Open Babel, RDKit, CDK, chemfp, osra, opsin, silicos-it ...
in one easy to use workbench running in a web browser.

ChemicalToolBox with installation
instructions:https://github.com/bgruening/galaxytools/tree/master/chemicaltoolbox


A few highlights of the CTB and its framework:
- every step in your analysis is logged with tool version, input dataset
and used parameters, enabling reproducibility of your analysis at any
time
- building entire cheminformatic protocols/workflows via drag & drop by
chaining small tools together. Abstracting complexness, enabling
creativity, like assembling lego bricks.
- over 40 different tools:
- conversion
- filtering (with predefined filtering rules)
- substructure and similarity search
- > 10 different fingerprints
- structure recognition
- structure depiction
- descriptor calculation
- property prediction
- CTB is accessible via any recent web browser, without any shell
knowledge. You can run a CTB instance for you lab or a whole university,
like we do here at the university of Freiburg
- CTB enables easy access to High-Performance-Computing (HPC). Based on
the Galaxy project, CTB can run on any Cluster/Grid setup, including
Cloud computing, like EC2
- by the means of the Galaxy Tool Shed, CTB comes with installation
routines of all dependencies, like Open Babel, RDKit, osra, opsin ...
once Galaxy is running you can install CTB with a few clicks
- CTB can be accessed via a REST API, for example for massively parallel
execution of workflows
- tools can be easily integrated, independently from its programming
language (it needs to be command line accessible)
- every workflow, dataset, history can be shared with a group of
researchers or can be made public available, enabling transparent and
peer-reviewed research. For example the ChemicalBox,
a merged database of many freely available
compounds:http://galaxy.uni-freiburg.de/u/bgruening/w/preparation-of-a-large-compound-library-by-merging-of-chemical-databases-1
- every tool and every tool-parameter can have (and hopefully has) an
exhaustive description to guide the researcher
- automatic build-in mutiprocessing: most of the CTB tools will split
the input datasets into smaller chunks before execution and merging the
result files after execution

I would like to thank the cheminformatic community, for all the great
tools and libraries, for accepting patches and enlightening discussions!
I hope CTB will be a useful contribution and can open the cheminformatic
universe to many more researchers.

Thanks and happy research!
Björn
