aaronmarkham opened a new issue #14918: graphviz dependency
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/14918
 
 
   ## Description
   We have various documents that have graphviz as a dependency for MXNet, both 
as a system package and a python package, and without a version number 
specified.
   
   I recently ran into an issue on the nano while working on the instructions 
where trying to bind Python to the libmxnet.so binary, it failed because my 
graphviz version exceeded the [allowed 
range](https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/de5267f43560f2f444cfa70e3e508ed79ae2acc5/python/setup.py#L33)
 of `graphviz<0.9.0,>=0.8.1`. I had 0.10.1. This is what any new user is going 
to get when following most source installation instructions. Which means 
they'll fail.
   
   1. Why do we have this range?
   1. If we were going to pin a version, what would it be? 0.8.4 is last 
release in current required range.
   1. Why do we require both system and python packages? 
   1. Do we even need this dependency with MXBoard being a superior alternative?
