Hi Noel, Looks like the problem with the build instructions is that I assume a pre-built version of bjam; bad assumption.
Your best bet is probably to follow the build instructions for boost that are in the boost docs: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_42_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#easy-build-and-install you only need the python library, so don't worry about building everything. Note: I haven't tested the RDKit with boost 1.42, but I don't anticipate any major problems. -greg On Wed, Mar 31, 2010 at 8:46 AM, Noel O'Boyle <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Greg, > > I'm trying to follow the instructions at > http://code.google.com/p/rdkit/wiki/BuildingWithCmake on an Ubuntu > 9.04 system. > > (1) I downloaded a boost source version. > (http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.42.0/boost_1_42_0.tar.gz/download) > (2) I extracted it and tried "bjam --with-python release install", but > I don't have bjam. > (3) I downloaded ../boost-jam-3.1.18.
