I don't know why this error occur when I install pygraphviz.
I use command 'python setup.py install' to install it.
My os is windows XP, and I have installed MSVS2008.
Graphviz-2.24 has been installed too.

Even I am facing the same problem. When i try to install pygraphviz
for Python 2.6 it gives me a warning: " I don't know what to do with
'runtime_library_dirs':[<Dir for libarary>]" and then gives an error:
"don't know how to set runtime library search path for MSVC++"

Incidentally i have Python 2.5 also installed in my system and when i
try to install pygraphviz using the Python 2.5 installer it works fine
and doesnt give me any error.

I need to get pygraphviz working for Python 2.6. Any help and
suggestion would be appreciated. Am a beginner at python and
pygraphviz.

Installed Packages:
OS: Windows XP
Python: Python 2.6
GraphViz: Graphviz-2.24
Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0

Thanks
