py-graph-tool @2.2.17: no matching constructor for initialization of 'boost::unchecked_vector_property_map<double, boost::vec_adj_list_vertex_id_map<boost::no_property, unsigned long> >'

[hajons@…]

When trying to install graph-tool using port install py-graph-tools on Mac OS Mountain Lion, it fails due to dependency on graphviz, which is not available for Mountain Lion. Please remove dependency on graphviz.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

graphviz builds fine on Mountain Lion.

Your log shows graphviz failing to build with this error:

:info:build grep: /opt/local/lib/libpng15.la: No such file or directory
:info:build sed: /opt/local/lib/libpng15.la: No such file or directory

Does that file really not exist? It should have been provided by the libpng port. Verify the libpng port is installed and active:

port -v installed libpng

If it is installed and active but does not provide that file, rebuild it:

sudo port clean libpng
sudo port -n upgrade --force libpng

Finally, clean graphviz and try again:

sudo prot clean graphviz
sudo port install graphviz

[hajons@…]

Did as suggested, and graphviz now installs fine. Graph-tool still fails to build though:

:info:build In file included from graph_eigenvector.cc:24:
:info:build ./graph_eigenvector.hh:44:23: error: no matching constructor for initialization of 'boost::unchecked_vector_property_map<long double, boost::vec_adj_list_vertex_id_map<boost::no_property, unsigned long> >'

Please see attached file.

Ok, so that's a different problem now. The log you attached is not from a clean build attempt, but it points to an error with boost. We frequently see the problem where we upgrade boost to a newer version and then some software breaks. Until the port maintainers fix the problem, you might be able to work around it by downgrading boost to an older version.

I can confirm that graph-tool doesn't work with the current version of boost. I have filed a ticket in the graph-tool bug tracker: ​https://projects.skewed.de/graph-tool/ticket/114 . If you need a working graph-tool right now, you need to follow ryandesign's suggestion and downgrade boost.

Please try again with the current git version, this should be fixed now. If everything works well, I'll release it as a new version.

Tried it, still doesn't compile. See attached log file.

The current version should work now. I've tried it myself, and it compiled fine.

Cool. I tested it, too, and can confirm that it works for me. Once you release the next version of graph-tool I'll update the Portfile.

Has duplicate #36903.

A new version (2.2.18) has just been released.

Thanks. The port has been updated in r99662.
