Re: [igraph] ubuntu python package is broken?

[Gabor Csardi]

Dhruv,

thanks for your report. However, I've just tried it with a virgin
installation and worked fine. 

I think the problem is that you still have the 0.4.5 version 
in /usr/local and python loads the C library from there. 
The C compilation against 0.4.5 is probably OK because you 
don't actually call any new 0.5 functions in your C program.

Please try removing your 0.4.5 installation, that should solve
the problem.

Best,
Gabor
