How do you install to a different directory than CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX without setting variables? The final destination (/usr) has to be compiled in so that openbabel finds it format plugins and data files. But during package build, you cannot install into the real file system (the build process on autobuilders does not have root rights). This all works fine with the regular cmake CMakeLists.txt for the library and the executables, it is just the COMMAND lines in scripts/CMakeLists.txt running setup.py directly which do not support this. I don't need this right now and regular users will just install locally, so it is not a big thing. I will try to look into it when I have more time. > BTW, are you planning to include the GUI?

Thanks for noticing, I will look into it.
