Installation issues - Add documentation for operative systems #1

Closed edran closed 8 years ago

There is an issue when trying to install a development setup with virtualenv, because igraph requires a C backend to work and that requires python-dev to be installed. Since almost no distributions have python 3.4 as default, python-dev packages are unlikely to work as well and the installation cannot proceed. I'm trying to work out a solution for Ubuntu 12.04 for now, which is an LTS and it's reasonable to use/install.

It turns out pycairo is also troublesome to install (And I guess that's the reason why computing support couldn't go ahead with it).

Also it might be worth a shot to see if cairocffi can be used instead of pycairo.
