Hi, We are using obabel to perform geometry optimizations etc on the command line, and we are hitting a bug that seems to only present itself on the Mac. If the input and output formats are the same then the operation fails, for example,
obabel -icml -ocml --minimize --log --ff UFF That is using standard in/out, but it also seems to happen when using files. This works as expected on Linux and Windows, are we diverging from expected use too much or is this a bug. This is the same in 2.3.2 and master, using 10.6.8 and GCC 4.2.1. The full output is below, compared with using xyz as the output (we could of course work around this issue by using different formats). There is a SMARTS error I just noticed too, but that seems unrelated to this bug on the Mac. $ obabel -icml ethane.cml -ocml --minimize --log --ff UFF ============================== *** Open Babel Error in RegisterOptionParam The number of parameters needed by option "t" in The LPMD file format. differs from an earlier registration. ============================== *** Open Babel Error in SMARTSError SMARTS Error: [#6+:1](~N:2)(~N:3)* ^ A T O M T Y P E S IDX TYPE RING 1 H_ NO 2 C_3 NO 3 H_ NO 4 H_ NO 5 C_3 NO 6 H_ NO 7 H_ NO 8 H_ NO S E T T I N G U P C A L C U L A T I O N S SETTING UP BOND CALCULATIONS...
