Installation failure: Configuring Incomplete

[cthoyt]

After running brew install rdkit, I'm getting the following errors. Any help is appreciated.

Note: I'm on OSX 10.13.3, and I've completely uninstalled everything (python@2, python, boost, boost-python, bumpy) before starting. My path variable is set in my .bashrc as export PATH=~/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH

i have the same issue.
if you look at the log in
/Users/bransonk/Library/Logs/Homebrew/rdkit/01.cmake

for you it is /Users/cthoyt/Library/Logs/Homebrew/rdkit/01.cmake

i have the following:

CMake Error at /usr/local/Cellar/cmake/3.11.1/share/cmake/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:2044 (message):

  Could not find the following Boost libraries:

  No Boost libraries were found.  You may need to set BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the
  directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT to the location of
  Boost.

i've set the following env vars:

export BOOST_LIBRARYDIR="/usr/local/Cellar"
export BOOST_ROOT="/usr/local/Cellar/boost"```

which may not be correct, but haven't solved the issue either.

Having the same issue as well, on OSX 10.11.6. I had hoped re-installing and re-linking any of boost, boost-python, or boost-python3 would fix things, but no. I'm using homebrew python for both 2.7 and 3.6.

I confirmed that I do indeed have boost at /usr/local/include/boost, but tried including the paths BOOST_LIBRARYDIR and BOOST_ROOT as cmake flags (pointing at /usr/local/Cellar), also to no effect.

[greglandrum]

This is unfortunately unlikely to work with boost=1.67. There are likely to be problems with cmake and I have yet to do any testing whatsoever of the RDKit with that version of boost.
I'd really recommend stepping back to boost 1.65 and using that.

[dbdbaron]

I'm trying with boost 1.60 (brew search boost didn't show a 1.65) and still getting the Configuring incomplete error.

[kzhk75]

With the information of this thread, I tried the following link, http://goingmyway.cn/2018/02/06/Homebrew-how-to-install-boost-with-a-specific-version/ , to install boost 1.65 on my MacOS through brew: brew install --build-from-source boost boost-python boost-python3
I slightly modified the link to downgrade from 1.67 to 1.65.1. It works well for my Mac(High Sierra, Yosemite)

Here is a simple patch as an example:

You can also try install HEAD version. Recent build shows that it will work
https://travis-ci.org/rdkit/homebrew-rdkit/builds/387705624.

[kim-branson]

brew install --HEAD rdkit worked for me with homebrew python3 installed with
brew install boost-python3 python3

[drkeoni]

I didn't find this thread until now, but I was having the same problem (with boost 1.67.0). I think the core issue is how brew is naming the boost-python3 libraries (vs what the rdkit cmake setup is looking for)

I was able to get everything to compile successfully by running the following in /usr/local/lib
ln -s libboost_python36.dylib libboost_python.dylib

[UnixJunkie]

This is too old, so I am closing.
Also, there is a PR fixing boost and boost-python3 to 1.70, because rdkit 2019.03.2
is known to compile with them.
