Nothing else that I know of. The procedure is repeatable, too:
$ sudo port clean –all pvm +darwin_8
—> Cleaning pvm
$ sudo port uninstall pvm +darwin_8
—> Deactivating pvm 3.4.5_1+darwin_8
—> Uninstalling pvm 3.4.5_1+darwin_8
$ port installed | grep pvm
$ sudo port install pvm +darwin_8
—> Fetching pvm
—> Attempting to fetch pvm3.4.5.tgz from http://www.netlib.org/pvm3/
—> Verifying checksum(s) for pvm
—> Extracting pvm
—> Applying patches to pvm
—> Configuring pvm
—> Building pvm with target all
—> Staging pvm into destroot
—> Installing pvm 3.4.5_1+darwin_8
—> Activating pvm 3.4.5_1+darwin_8
—> Cleaning pvm

I’m not sure what could be causing it to fail for you. Is your ports installation up to date (sudo port self-update)? Have you uninstalled all variants of pvm (does port installed | grep pvm come up empty)? Are we running the same versions of gcc (4.0.1) and Mac OS X (10.5.2)?

The author has seen me some code to illustrate the API. You’ll have to adjust the import statements, and set PYTHONPATH and so on, add the bin directory to the PATH (if on windows), but the general idea works:

import oasa

mol = oasa.molecule()
for symbol in ["C","N","C","C"]:
a = mol.create_vertex()
a.symbol = symbol
mol.add_vertex( a)
e = mol.create_edge()
e.order = 1
mol.add_edge( 0, 1, e)
mol.add_edge( 1, 2) # default edge is created
mol.add_edge( 1, 3)
oasa.coords_generator.calculate_coords( mol, bond_length=30)
oasa.cairo_out.mol_to_png( mol, “out.png”)

It's available for CPython, but (soon I hope) will be available for Jython also. I’d say that Pybel is pretty easy to use for extracting coordinates (but I’m a bit biased).

My other concern is that adding new tools (e.g. converting data to something that a program can read, common in games coding) requires much more voodoo in waf than in scons. And woe be you if you need to pass multiple targets with flags to some program.

Will do.

Good point.
