Thanks Tiago, I hadn't realized I have to manually disable the optional dependencies.

Thanks again, Matthias

Hi,

I'm trying to install graph-tool-2.2.27 from source (Debian 6.0/python

2.7.5)

...

./configure --prefix=${HOME}/scratch/temp/gt 

<snip>

checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for CAIROMM... no configure: error: Package requirements (cairomm-1.0) were not met:

No package 'cairomm-1.0' found

</snip

THIS tells me that cairomm-1.0 is not installed. I'm a bit surprised as this is marked as an optional dependency here:

http://graph-tool.skewed.de/download

...

However

dpkg -L libcairomm-1.0-1 

/usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/libcairomm-1.0-1 /usr/share/doc/libcairomm-1.0-1/README /usr/share/doc/libcairomm-1.0-1/AUTHORS /usr/share/doc/libcairomm-1.0-1/copyright /usr/share/doc/libcairomm-1.0-1/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/libcairomm-1.0-1/NEWS.gz /usr/share/doc/libcairomm-1.0-1/changelog.gz /usr/lib /usr/lib/libcairomm-1.0.so.1.4.0 /usr/lib/libcairomm-1.0.so.1

But

pkg-config cairomm-1.0-1 --libs 

ckage cairomm-1.0-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `cairomm-1.0-1.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'cairomm-1.0-1' found

I suspect this is a rather simple issue. Could you please tell me how to

adjust configure to find my cairomm installation?

In Debian, the libraries are almost always split in two packages: One containing the shared object and another one with "-dev" suffix which contains the header files. For cairomm you need to install the libcairomm-1.0-dev package, in addition to libcairomm-1.0.

And cairo support _is_ optional. If you want to disable it, just pass the --disable-cairo to the configure script.

Cheers, Tiago
