Description Paulo E. Abreu 2023-02-08 16:39:56 UTC
Description of problem: Openbabel's BABEL_LIBDIR variable has the incorrect path. This variable (defined in /etc/profile.d/openbabel.sh and openbabel.csh) points to a non-existent directory: /usr/lib64/openbabel. The correct path should be /usr/lib64/openbabel3

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openbabel-3.1.1-15.fc37.x86_64 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. obabel "-:C" -o svg -O methane.svg

Actual results:
==============================
*** Open Babel Error  in LoadAllPlugins
  Unable to find OpenBabel plugins. Try setting the BABEL_LIBDIR environment variable.
obabel: cannot write output format!
Open Babel 3.1.1 -- Sep 29 2022 -- 00:00:00
Usage:
obabel [-i<input-type>] <infilename> [-o<output-type>] -O<outfilename> [Options]
Try  -H option for more information.


Expected results:

1 molecule converted

methane.svg file is generated.

Additional info:
If you alter the variable or the file to point to the correct path, the program will work correctly. This also impacts the openbabel GUI, which will look strange due to plugins not being loaded.
