AFAIK CentOS only ships with GCC 4.8, which is too old to compile graph-tool, and is the main bottle neck. On top of this there is the version of Boost, which I also think is too old there. In short, CentOS decides to stay 7 years behind everything else, and is difficult to maintain this kind of backward compatibility, given the recent speed with which C++ has been evolving (C++11, C++14, etc). -- Tiago de Paula Peixoto <ti...@skewed.de> _______________________________________________ graph-tool mailing list graph-tool@skewed.de https://lists.skewed.de/mailman/listinfo/graph-tool
