OK. I didn't notice that 2.6 was deprecated - maybe this could be
explicitly mentioned in the install instructions. I'm running the
RedHat clone Scientific Linux 6, so everything in this thread on
RH/Python applies. So I can use either Python 2.7 or Python 3.5. I can
ask the users what they prefer - although, as you seem know my users
here in Berlin, maybe you know too ;-)

This directory exists.

The directory just contains
lib
rdkit
an nothing else, in particular, no __init__.py. I have plenty of
__init__.pys in the build directory, so I assume I must have done some
thing wrong when running cmake and/or make install.
I must admit that I found the installation instructions somewhat unclear
on that point. I would find it clearer if things were couched in terms
of 'source' and 'destination'. For me, as a make-guy rather than a
cmake-guy, it would also be helpful if it were made clearer at which
point the destination directory should be specified. I ended up with
RDKit being installed under a very long path with included both my
intended path and the original build path, so I had to move things
around and may have goofed up at that point.

This is what I did:
module add boost # this just sets the boost stuff up
export VERSION=2017_03_3
export RDBASE=/home/BUILD/rdkit/rdkit-rdkit-Release_${VERSION}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${RDBASE}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export DESTDIR=/cm/shared/apps/rdkit/${VERSION}
and then probably
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/cm/shared/apps/rdkit/${VERSION}
so I may have over-egged my install-path-cake. I started all the
fiddling with DESTDIR and CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, because my initial
attempt resulted in the destination directory being the same as the
build directory, which didn't work so well.
Thanks for the help - I'll have another go Python 3.5 and try to keep my
eye on __init__.py.
Cheers,
Loris
