That message is typically caused by one of two things: 1) your LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not include $RDBASE/lib 2) the boost python library cannot be found in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH You can check by doing: "ldd $RDBASE/rdkit/rdBase.so" and checking that there are no libraries that can't be found. -greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Windows Azure Live!
