Problem with the path of openbabale library

Hi everyone,

I want to install Avogadro on my linux64 desktop. Openbabel-2.2.3 is
currently installed om my home directory. I used the following cmake
commend:

cmake …/
-DOPENBABEL2_INCLUDE_DIR=/home/badieyan/openbabel/openbabel-2.2.3/usr/local/
include/openbabel-2.0/
-DOPENBABEL2_LIBRARIES=/home/badieyan/openbabel/openbabel-2.2.3/usr/local/li
b/

And I received the following error:

– checking for module ‘openbabel-2.0>=2.2.2’

– package ‘openbabel-2.0>=2.2.2’ not found

CMake Error at cmake/modules/FindOpenBabel2.cmake:81 (message):

Could NOT find OpenBabel 2.2 or later

Call Stack (most recent call first):

CMakeLists.txt:131 (find_package)

– Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Cmake and openbabel are installed correctly and the only problem may be
difinition of path. I appreciate let me know how I could solve this issue.

Thanks

Somaye

Try:

-DOPENBABEL2_LIBRARIES=/home/badieyan/openbabel/openbabel-2.2.3/usr/local/lib/libopenbabel.so

(note the “libopenbabel.so” at the end of the library specification).

Hi Somaye,

Assuming that the directories and paths are correct, you can try to
override the version check by adding “-DOPENBABEL2_VERSION_MET=true”
to the cmake command.

Thanks you David for your prompt reply. I followed your suggested path:

cmake …/
-DOPENBABEL2_INCLUDE_DIR=/home/badieyan/openbabel/openbabel-2.2.3/usr/local/include/openbabel-2.0/
-DOPENBABEL2_LIBRARIES=/home/badieyan/openbabel/openbabel-2.2.3/usr/local/lib/libopenbabel.so

But the same error message:

– checking for module ‘openbabel-2.0>=2.2.2’

– package ‘openbabel-2.0>=2.2.2’ not found

CMake Error at cmake/modules/FindOpenBabel2.cmake:81 (message):

I have even checked the other options in lib directory (libopenbabel.so,
libopenbabel.so.3, libopenbabel.so.3.0.3, pkgconfig/openbabel-2.0.pc, …) but
for all I have received the same error. For more details I have also
attached the CMakeCache.txt (the output of cmake).

Thanks for your help.
