I have problems to install python-igraph on the anaconda distribution of python.

If I write pip install python-igraph (with the admin privileges) in the anaconda command, the installation doesn't work.

You can download a wheel installer from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#python-igraph and then install that wheel in your environment via 

conda install pip
pip install *.whl

See this stackoverflow answer for ways to convert a *.exe into a wheel which can be installed as above: Can I install Python windows packages into virtualenvs?

Check the documentation on their site: http://igraph.org/python/ It says that you need to download the .msi installer, pip does not work under windows. That is probably because you need a C compiler and windows does not supply one by default.
