Well, it took me longer than I thought it would to find time to do this, but I have something that's testable available now. This isn't a real "binary distribution" per se, but it ought to be enough to see if the principle works.
Grab this tarball: http://www.rdkit.org/rdkit_svn.bin.macos.tgz and extract it; this will create a directory called RDKit. Set your RDBASE environment variable to point to that directory and add $RDBASE to your PYTHONPATH. Add $RDBASE/bin to your DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH at that point, you should be able to start Python and do: >>> from rdkit import RDConfig >>> from rdkit import rdBase >>> from rdkit import Chem These test, in order, $PYTHONPATH, $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, your general configuration. If all three imports work, you should be able to use the RDKit. Let me know how it goes. -greg On Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 5:38 PM, Benjamin Esham <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all, > > I am doing some research in chemical physics, and it would be great if > I could use RDKit to help me.
