Problem installing PygraphViz 0.99.1

[ruchit]

Excuse me if this post is in the wrong group. I had posted it on
Pygraphviz group a month back but no one answered it. So wanted to try
my luck here.

When i try to install pygraphviz to use with NetworkX for Python 2.6
it gives me the following 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.

Is Pygraphviz-0.99.1 not compatible with Python 2.6? Am i missing
something or should i downgrade to Python 2.5.

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 2008
Networkx 1.0rc1

Trying to install Pygraphviz-0.99.1

Thanks
Ruchit

PyGraphviz works with Python2.6.

Maybe someone that understands MSVC++ and linking can answer...

But I'll speculate:
Maybe your Python2.5 and Python2.6 versions are complied with
different compilers? I think the GraphViz package and Python
package might need to be built with the same compiler version to be
able to link Python extensions to Graphviz (e.g. PyGraphviz).
