Requirements

Dependencies

Consider these versions as the minimum suitable for graphviz, but please always use the latest available version of these packages. If there is any problem with building graphviz against a latest version, please generate a bug report as we would very much like to know about it.

HINT If you are using an rpm-based system, by far the easiest way to determine all the build dependencies is to download the graphviz-xxx.src.rpm, run: "rpmbuild --rebuild graphviz-xxx.src.rpm 2>t" , then edit "t" into a yum install command.
