[Openchemistry-developers] Building Avogadro from OpenChemistry Github

[Sanjeed Schamnad]

I faced the same error initially when I tried following the build process.
One of the required components i.e. GLEW, EIGEN, HDF5 or BOOST must have
failed during the build process.
There are two options to test which is the exact component that failed:

   1. Run the process again in a new folder and keep tabs on the entire
   build, keep scrolling up and seeing if there are any errors or
   2. Run the cmake command again, since eveything is build it'll throw up
   the component which is failing.

I suspect you're facing the same problem with HDF5 that I faced. You can
look at the issue here
<https://github.com/OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs/issues/53> .

To solve the issue, I would suggest that you install GLEW, EIGEN, HDF5 and
BOOST separately and use the cmake-gui to choose these packages
