I am trying to install Avogadro-1.2.0 on a Centos7. I have installed eigen3 and openbabel and the cmake …/ command goes fine (other than saying that it can’t find boost). however, when I type make -j2, I get multiple errors (output below). Does this indicate that I need to uninstall eigen3 and use eigen2 instead?
thank you to anyone who has suggestions or has gotten avogadro to work on centos7
