Re: [igraph] GraphML in R

[Gábor Csárdi]

Matthew,

thanks for the wiki page. igraph searches for the program called
xml2-config to find the libxml2 installation. Maybe all you need to do
is to make sure that it is in your PATH. (This is true for Linux and
maybe other Unix-like systems.) Could you please check this?

Otherwise the wiki page is fine, setting the compilation flags always
works. But it is easier to just use xml2-config if your system has it.

Best,
Gabor
