Installing graph-tool library on conda installed python 3.5, Mac OS

Precisely the same as here, which hasn't been resolved.

enter image description here

Followed the sequential directions here; all channels added.

Tried:

  1. Adding to .bash_profile export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH://anaconda/pkgs accordingly the directory where there is cairomm installed..
  2. ./configure -with--CAIROMM_CFLAGS -with--CAIROMM_LIBS

Can someone kindly make sure at least I have implemented alternate solutions correctly?

And of course I've tried the simplest conda install graph-tool after adding channels from ostrokach-forge and the like. Instead of success, I get the following:

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

Solution

  • Whoa, so unpopular post!

    For myself and other novices' use in the future -> (after all, conda install-ed python is easier)

    Slightly different but same in that certain library is not reached, acc. to this query:

    conda needs to be able to find all the dependencies at once.

    The -c flag only adds that channel for that one command.

    conda install -c vgauthier rwest graph-tool. But an easier way is to add those channels to your configuration

    conda config --add channels vgauthier --add channels rwest

    And then perform conda install graph-tool

    But when I used conda install -c http://conda.anaconda.org/vgauthier graph-tool command, it worked instantly.

    Before that, nothing worked. (when I only used the user name vguathier or ostrokach-forge or else)

    If I type vi .condarc I see 

    channels:
  - ostrokach-forge
  - conda-forge
  - defaults

    And because I remain quite ignorant in using brew-installed packages with conda-installed python, I started out by following the directions to install all the necessary dependencies using brew. (including pixman)

    Wonder how the command found everything though.. plus python upgraded to 3.6 from 3.5.

    God this is how I am left with solving os issues.. i'm not 100 % clear how I made the computer connect the dots.

    And still, nonetheless, I am still left with how to figure the install with ./configure. I want to understand the error msg that was returned and how to address it.
