[Karol Żeluk]

Hello!

I try install pygraphviz on Windows 7 (x86). I already installed
Graphviz 2.8, but i get an error :

I try this: https://networkx.lanl.gov/trac/ticket/117, but it doesn't
work.

Thanks,

Greetings,

I have the exact same issue. I am using a 64 bit version of python 2.7 and have downloaded Graphviz 2.28. The error is the same with 'cgraph.lib' not found under Graphviz/lib/release/lib (note the below post does have release spelled as "realase" in the setup file under the library_path parameter). The lib file cgraph.lib is in the release/lib folder so it is unclear why the installer is not finding this. I am using Visual Studio 2008 and get other errors when trying with MinGW.  If someone can even point out the python line to debug, that would be a good start (is setup.py looking in the right folder?). The file is also in "debug/lib" but changing the library_path to this doesn't fix it as the following person reported:

I've got this to work on my 32 bit Windows machine and a Mac but not in 64 bit Windows.

Best,
Nathan
