Path error in compiling svn trunk

Apologies if you already know this–I’m very new at contributing. …
and svn … But Avogadro is too compelling for me to not try it.

http://avogadro.sourceforge.net/wiki/Compiling
The beginner in me stumbled a bit over two points in the wiki:

  1. the svn directory is assumed. The fix:
    $mkdir ~/svn
    $cd ~/svn

Actually, I installed in ~/avogadro because I’m not likely to use it
ever again, and very likely to forget why it’s in my home directory.
I changed the appropriate paths in all following steps

  1. path for eigen in (avogadro-dir)/build/make fails. “no
    eigen/vector.h” seems that the eigen subdir (exists for standard
    eigen install, but not the SVN make) The fix:
    $cd (eigen-dir)/src
    $mkdir eigen
    $cp * eigen/.

make succeeds, Avogadro opens and looks promising, but locks up when I
ask it to open a file, (or give a *.pdb file as command line argument)
but… it runs initially, and that’s relative progress :slight_smile:

Fedora 7, 2.6.22.1-27.fc7, gnome, nvidia drivers

If you’re getting a crash when you try to open a file, I would guess that it’s
probably something related to your environment variables; (possibly
BABEL_LIBDIR) so please double check that. You seem like you’ve figured most
of it out so i wouldn’t figure you missed something like that but it’s
discerning why you’re getting that crash when you try to open a file so lets
get to the bottom of it.

Hi Donald,

I don’t know support/development etiquette, whether or not it’s
interesting for the list, and whether this falls under support or
development. …so if you simply reply forward your response to this
to the list I’ll figure it out. :slight_smile:

I’ve double-checked the paths on my BABEL_LIBDIR using tab complete;
at least I know that the directories exists, and full of things like
mopacformat.o mopacformat.lai … the other directory with cmlformat.o

I’ll post the output to screen below

Thanks for the help
