[Avogadro-Discuss] Forcefield setup failure

2012-02-24 Thread Noel O'Boyle
Hey there, I know that the forcefields only cover certain atoms (or is it atom types?) and so setup will fail in some cases. But shouldn't the setup work if I set a problem atom as "fixed", or even "ignore"? This would be useful for preparing QM calculations where I have some exotic metal centre,

You should "make install" before attempting to use Open Babel. You can do this locally if you configure CMake with "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user/whatever", and then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH appropriately. - Noel On 24 May 2011 11:02, Jaap Kroes wrote: > Dear prof. Hutchison, > > Thank you for yo
