igraph uses a technique similar to C++ templates but "emulated" in C.
The C core of igraph contains multiple vector-like types that are only
different in the base data type they are able to store. The common
"core" of the implementation is stored in a file called vector.pmt or
vector_pmt.hc (don't know which one we have used in 0.4.3), "pmt"
standing for "poor man's template". You'll have to look for a line
starting like this:

igraph_bool_t FUNCTION(igraph_vector,search)

Please check whether vector.pmt or vector_pmt.hc is included in the
source distribution you downloaded. If not, you'll be able to find
them in the C source distribution downloadable from
http://cneurocvs.rmki.kfki.hu/igraph/
