Plotting support for Linux is a bit flaky -- behind the scenes, igraph writes the plot to a temporary file and then tries to find a suitable image viewer from a list of hard-coded choices. It could be the case that none of these are installed on your machine. See the get_platform_image_viewer() function in igraph/configuration.py for the current list; it includes eog, gthumb, bqview, kuickshow, xnview, display, gpicview, gwenview, qiv, gimv and ristretto at the moment.
To confirm that the plotting itself is working, try redirecting the plot into a file as follows: plot(graph, "test.png") If it crashes or exits, we will need at least a stack trace and the exact version of Cairo and python-cairo. > I also tried on my OSX laptop, but here I ran into trouble with installing > the pycario graphics library interface.

"./../.." pycairo is built with waf, not with the ./configure script as far as I know. See the contents of the "INSTALL" file within the py2cairo distribution. The following should work: ./waf configure ./waf build ./waf install If it doesn't, you can try the following: python -c "import sys; print sys.prefix" then make a note of the path that the script above printed to the console, and run: ./autogen.sh --prefix=whatever-you-got-from-the-previous-command This will generate a ./configure script and then you can proceed with the usual ./configure && make && make install dance.
