Im trying to install graph-tool library on mac os x 10.11.2 machine. I have two python interpreter installed, pre-installed python 2.7 and anaconda 3.5

$ which python 
/Users/Phoenix/anaconda/bin/python

to install graph-tool I had to use home-brew, since this is the recommended method to install graph-tool on mac os. 

brew tap homebrew/science
brew install graph-tool

the problem I faced that the home-brew is pointing to python 2.7 which is not default python in my case. how I can force home-brew to install this package to the anaconda python?

    You cannot really mix homebrew with anaconda without defeating the whole purpose of isolated environments. I would try to find a way to install graph-tools directly into your anaconda environment. It seems that there are packages on anaconda cloud. But I am not sure how easy it is to install those. – cel Dec 24 '15 at 07:50
  • thanks for ur reply, I could find that I can install the package by using " conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/vgauthier graph-tool " but the problem that it dint work because, "Could not find some dependencies for graph-tool: cairomm, sigcpp" while both of those libraries are installed already by using brew :/ – Zingo Dec 27 '15 at 06:04
  • and I found vey similar question to mine here, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32225291/anaconda-python-how-to-install-missing-dependency but again the answer their doesn't solve the problem – Zingo Dec 27 '15 at 06:16

    As I said, conda is isolated from your system. It does not matter that you already installed these dependencies with homebrew. Have you tried `conda install -c vgauthier -c cyclus graph-tool`? – cel Dec 27 '15 at 07:17
  • i tried and got this conflict $ conda install -c vgauthier -c cyclus graph-tool Fetching package metadata: ............ Solving package specifications: ......................... Error: Unsatisfiable package specifications. Hint: the following packages conflict with each other: - graph-tool - python 3.5* – Zingo Dec 27 '15 at 08:11
  • Well, seems not to be ported to `python3.5`, then. You'd have to use a python3.4 environment for that. – cel Dec 27 '15 at 08:13
  • yea, thanks again :) – Zingo Dec 27 '15 at 08:14
  • its working :D, thanks a lot but could u plz tell me what -c vgauthier -c cycles mean ? – Zingo Dec 27 '15 at 08:55

    It adds additional channels to look for packages, see: http://conda.pydata.org/docs/commands/conda-install.html – cel Dec 27 '15 at 09:03
  • Anyone managed to install graph-tool for anaconda with 2.7 python?? – OHTO Mar 15 '16 at 09:50
  • I created a python3.4 environment, installed sigcpp, then ran conda install -c vgauthier -c cyclus graph-tool which succesfully installed, but it did not fix: the error upon import `dyld: Symbol not found: __ZN5boost6python7objects23register_dynamic_id_auxENS0_9type_infoEPFNSt3__14pairIPvS2_EES5_E Referenced from: /Users/name/lib/anaconda/envs/graphviz/lib/python3.4/site-packages/graph_tool/libgraph_tool_core.so Expected in: flat namespace` – Griff Apr 26 '16 at 20:16
