[Openchemistry-developers] Difficulty building a local copy of the rdkit repo

[Geoffrey Hutchison]

My suggestion would be to e-mail the RDKit mailing list and look at the RDKit documentation itself.

I have been asked to build a local copy but I'm facing difficulty in following the instructions given in the installation doc in the README. I have used the "Cross-Platform under anaconda python (fastest install)" and I'm using ubuntu. I have downloaded and installed all the dependencies and other requirements. The problem is, I'm not able to build it. I have tried running the command "autoreconf --install", but there is no configure.ac <http://configure.ac/> or configure.in <http://configure.in/> inside the directory. How do i overcome this? The documentation isn't very clear on this. It states "and finally, make, make install and ctest". It doesnt elaborate on whats the correct procedure. Helping me in this would be really beneficial for me as I'm very much interested to contribute to this project.
