[igraph] install on Ubuntu?

[Ron Lai]

Hi,

I used to have igraph 0.54 on Windows but now I'm trying to upgrade to 0.60 on Ubuntu.

===================

I've tried:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:igraph/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install python-igraph

Here's what happens:

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

E: Unable to locate package igraph-python

===================

I know I also need to install c library (sudo apt-get install libigraph0) and cairo to plot graphs (sudo apt-get install libcairo2 libcairo2-dev)

I've tried to install cairo

sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev
sudo pip install pycairo

Here's what happens

Downloading/unpacking pycairo

  Downloading pycairo-1.10.0.tar.bz2 (246Kb): 246Kb downloaded

  Running setup.py egg_info for package pycairo

    Traceback (most recent call last):

      File "<string>", line 14, in <module>

    IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/ubuntu/build/pycairo/setup.py'

    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

    Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<string>", line 14, in <module>

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/ubuntu/build/pycairo/setup.py'

===================

I've tried to install igraph via pip (sudo pip install igraph)

sudo pip install python-igraph

Here's what happens:

unable to execute gcc: No such file or directory

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

Bummer!

I've also tried compiling by source but can only get igraph 0.54 to work. 

I've tried this on Ubuntu 10.04, 11.10 and 12.04 (both 32bits and 64bits)

My preference is to use an Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit machine.

Tried Googling around but not finding a lot of luck.

Best,

Ron Lai
