[Bioc-devel] openbabel 2.4.1

Kevin,

It looks like ChemmineOB has not changed in the devel branch since the
release - still at version 1.15.0.

Herve installed OpenBabel 2.4 on the Macs a couple of months ago but it
was not compatible with the ChemmineOB version at the time. Because of
this he had to install OpenBabel 2.3. I've looked in the svn logs and
don't see any record of 'now compatible' or 'tested with' 2.4. so I'm
not sure why you think ChemmineOB would now be compatible with 2.4.

Using OpenBabel 2.4 would be good for Mac users because that's the
version you get with 'brew install openbabel'. This change, however, is
not a good thing for linux users because with 'apt-get install
libopenbable-dev' you get version 2.3 and not 2.4. Updating on windows
is a similar install from source situation.

Please explain what testing you've done to ensure the package is
compatible with OpenBabel 2.4. I'm also not sure why you want 2.4 on the
build machines if ChemmineOB is backwards compatible with 2.3. Is there
new functionality?

Valerie

The package ChemmineOB depends on the external library OpenBabel. There 
is now a new version of it, version 2.4.1. Could you please install this 
on all three operating systems (just for devel )? You can find general 
OpenBabel build instructions here 
<http://openbabel.org/wiki/Install_%28source_code%29>, and ChemmineOB 
specific instructions in the INSTALL file.
     On the mac, it should work with libc++ now (previously it only 
worked with libstdc++), so don't force it use libstd++ anymore (unless 
you have other reasons for doing so, in which case just let me know so I 
can adjust the make file). No special CMAKE flags should be necessary.

Thanks.

Kevin
