Dear all,

Thanks to some really great help from Gianluca Sforna and Riccardo
Vianello, the RDKit build system has been updated to make installing
the software in standard locations (like /usr/local on linux machines)
easier. The changes should also make it possible for the RDKit to be
packaged for integration with linux distributions, which will make it
lot easier for people who don't want to have to think about compiling
things to install the RDKit. This is exciting news.

There are instructions for the updated build system here:
http://code.google.com/p/rdkit/wiki/NewLinuxBuild

Please note that the default behavior should be basically the same as
the previous system, so the following should still work:
% mkdir build; cd build
% cmake ..
% make install

The only difference should be that you need to add $RDBASE/lib to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of $RDBASE/bin

It would be really, really helpful if people could try out the new
system and let us know how it works.

Best Regards,
-greg
