Description:

It seems cairo is a required dependency, which might not be readily detectable on systems where cairo is preinstalled (e.g. desktops). Example from a system without cairo follows:

$ obabel
==============================
*** Open Babel Error in openLib
/usr/lib/openbabel/2.3.2/png2format.so did not load properly.
Error: libcairo.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

$ ldd /usr/lib/openbabel/2.3.2/png2format.so

(...snip...)

$ sudo pacman -Sy cairo

$ ldd /usr/lib/openbabel/2.3.2/png2format.so

libcairo.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2 (0x00007f26b729c000)
(...snip...)

$ obabel
No input file or format spec or possibly a misplaced option.
Most options must come after the input files. (-i -o -O -m can be anywhwere.)

Open Babel 2.3.2 -- Jul 8 2016 -- 06:00:16
(...snip...)


Additional info:
* package version(s): openbabel 2.3.2-6
* config and/or log files etc.: see above


Steps to reproduce:
1. Install openbabel on a system __without__ cairo preinstalled.
2. Execute '/usr/bin/obabel'.
This task depends upon

Do NOT run pacman -Sy when installing things. Partial updates are not supported.

My bad! I put it there only as an indication of the moment cairo was installed and didn't give it much thought, but it's indeed a bad example of pacman usage for anyone who sees this ticket. Thanks for pointing it out.

wxgtk3 is now an optional dep, which in its turn depends on cairo.

Is this still a valid issue?

cairo is still a missing dependency. It's linked by /usr/lib/openbabel/3.1.0/png2format.so to provide PNG output support.
