Hi Richard, These new bindings are not going to be installed to site-packages - that's the price we are going to pay for working bindings. I decided to keep things simple going forward and not to add back support for PYTHON_PREFIX.
But this is not a problem for Python. Just add the directory where the .py files are installed to the front of your PYTHONPATH. (I'll add this to the development documentation.) - Noel On 2 December 2011 01:03, Richard West <r.h.w...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > I've spent some more quality time with OpenBabel Python bindings on a Mac > today. > > Using the open babel SVN trunk, as Noel suggested recently on the mailing > list, I can get almost everything to work (`cmake -DRUN_SWIG=TRUE > -DPYTHON_BINDINGS=ON -DEIGEN3_INCLUDE_DIR='___' `) > but after a `make install` the final libraries (_openbabel.so, open > babel.py, pybel.py) end up in my '/usr/local/lib', not in any python > site-packages type location where python can find them. > > Some of the docs > (http://openbabel.org/docs/dev/Installation/install.html#compile-language-bindings > ) suggest they'd end up in '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/' (which > would have been fine with me) UNLESS I specify -DPYTHON_PREFIX.
