Thanks Igor. That simple edit made things much better. Still using make (cmake gave more errors than I can recount) I can link everything OK and get a running babel, BUT $ pwd /home/tj/openbabel/bin $ ./babel -H .....
The following file formats are recognized: formats is not a recognized plugin type. Those with instances of sub-types loaded are: descriptors fingerprints forcefields loaders ops This bin folder has all sorts of *format.dll.a, populated by make install. I get the same symptom with my own programs using openbabel (OBConversion::SetInAndOutFormats fails to recognize the formats "sdf", etc.) Something is missing somewhere. Can you help? $ echo $PATH .:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:/c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS:/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/c/Program Files/NTRU Cryptosystems/NTRU TCG Software Stack/bin/:/c/Program Files/Wave Systems Corp/Dell Preboot Manager/Access Client/v5/:/c/Program Files/android/tools:/c/Program Files/Bitvise Tunnelier:/c/Program Files/TortoiseSVN/bin:/c/Program Files/OpenBabel-2.2.3:/c/Program Files/OpenBabel-2.2.1:/c/Program Files/OpenBabel-2.2.0:/c/Program Files/CMake 2.6/bin:/c/qt/2009.03/qt/bin/:/c/qt/2009.03/bin/ TJ O'Donnell P.S. When I install 2.2.3 into C:\Program Files\OpenBabel\ using the windows installer exe, babel -H works as expected.
