I have created a homebrew formula for open-babel. Not perfect, but it's a decent start, and it seems to work for me on my recently-installed Snow Leopard machine. If/when it gets accepted into the official repository, users of homebrew on a Mac will be able to just type: $ brew install open-babel --python --perl --ruby to build the whole lot. (Except there's not yet a formula for oasa). As you can see (URLs below), I had to tweak a couple of the makefiles for the bindings - it may be possible to fix these upstream in a future OpenBabel release. Formula: http://github.com/rwest/homebrew/blob/e46c339eb1d948a82321edb75d79058fa5b498a6/Library/Formula/open-babel.rb Commit message: http://github.com/rwest/homebrew/commit/e46c339eb1d948a82321edb75d79058fa5b498a6 A good place for suggestions (or encouragement for it to be adopted) would be the ticket at: http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/issue/2247 Have a good weekend, and hopefully I'll bump into some of you at ACS next week (is there a good way to increase the probability of this?)
