title: How to install python-igraph on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS 64-Bit?
body: <p>Apparently <code>libigraph</code> and <code>python-igraph</code> are the only packages on earth that can't be installed via <code>apt-get</code> or <code>easy_install</code> under Ubuntu 8.04 LTS 64-bit.</p>
  
  <p>Installing both from source from source on seems to go smoothly...until I try to use them.</p>
  
  <p>When I run python I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import igraph
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
    File "igraph/__init__.py", line 30, in &lt;module&gt;
      from igraph.core import *
   ImportError: No module named core
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or (if I use the easy_install version of python-igraph) </p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; import igraph
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;
    File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/igraph/__init__.py", line 30, in &lt;module&gt;
    File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/igraph/core.py", line 7, in &lt;module&gt;
    File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/igraph/core.py", line 6, in __bootstrap__
  ImportError: libigraph.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I grabbed the source from here</p>
  
  <p>igraph 0.5.2 = <a href="http://igraph.sourceforge.net/download.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://igraph.sourceforge.net/download.html</a></p>
  
  <p>python-igraph 0.5.2 = <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-igraph/0.5.2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-igraph/0.5.2</a></p>
  
  <p>Can anybody point me in the right direction?</p>
