Re: [igraph] install python igraph on mac osx 10.6

Hello Martin,

> Here is the output of python after installing it from the binary:
The binary installer should work, but I guess that you have some leftover files 
from an earlier installation on your machine. Check this error message in your 
traceback:

Now, python_igraph-0.5.4-py2.6-macosx-10.3-fat.egg is *not* installed by the 
binary installer. It is most likely to come from an earlier attempt to install 
igraph using easy_install. The binary installer should install the following 
files:

/usr/bin/igraph (a shell script that starts up igraph within a Python 
interpreter)
/usr/local/lib/libigraph.dylib (this is the C core)
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/igraph/core.so
 (this is the C glue layer between libigraph.dylib and Python)
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/igraph/*.py
 (loads of Python files that provide a more user-friendly access to igraph -- 
this is what you'll import)
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/python_igraph-0.5.4-py2.6.egg-info


So, first I'd clean up the previous installation from 
/Library/*yadda-yadda*/python2.6/site-packages/python_igraph-0.5.4-py2.6-macosx-10.3-fat.egg/
 -- just remove the whole directory and try again with the binary installer. If 
the binary installer still doesn't work, let me know and we'll figure it out. 
The binary installer *should* work on Mac OS X 10.6, so if it doesn't, that's a 
bug and it should be fixed soon.
