Installation Issues on Debian Wheezy
I'm trying to install graph-tool on Debian Wheezy, following the instructions at http://graph-tool.skewed.de/download#debian - unfortunately, I have some problems, depending on what value I use for DISTRIBUTION in my /etc/apt/sources.list file: If I use 'jessie' or 'sid', then (after running 'apt-get update'), when I run 'apt-get install python-graph-tool', I get an error about unsatisfied dependencies (various libboost-... packages, libcgal10, libgomp1, libstdc++6). I'm not sure what the exact error message is in english, since my server language is set to german. If necessary, I can try to provide more details. If I use 'testing' (this was in the instructions until a few days ago), running 'apt-get update' gives me some 404s for: http://downloads.skewed.de testing/main Sources http://downloads.skewed.de testing/main i386 Packages If I use 'wheezy' (on a whim - I haven't seen this in the instructions), then running 'apt-get update' works, and ostensibly, so does running 'apt-get install python-graph-tool', but the version it installs is an old one which cannot load graphs in the gt format (which I need). Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible to install a precompiled package of a recent version on Debian Wheezy? I'm not very familiar with Debian package management. If any more details are required, please let me know. On an unrelated note: thanks for graph-tool! It is well-crafted and has brought me much joy :) -- View this message in context: http://main-discussion-list-for-the-graph-tool-project.982480.n3.nabble.com/...

Wheezy is no longer supported, unfortunately. The Boost version available there is too old, and incompatible with graph-tool, so I cannot compile a package for it. I think testing (jessie) is about to become stable any moment now™, so wheezy will become obsolete.
