The question is: Is Graphviz available on Dreamhost servers...?? --Helge 13:22, 13 Jun 2006 (PDT)
I don't think so, but I'd love to have it as well, preferably with the GraphViz extension to
MediaWiki enabled as well. -- JFinnis 05:34, 14 Aug 2006 (PDT)

I just successfully installed graphviz (in order to use the MediaWiki extension).

$ wget http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/stable/SOURCES/graphviz-2.26.0.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf graphviz-2.26.0.tar.gz
$ cd graphviz-2.26.0
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local --disable-perl --disable-ruby
$ make
$ make install
$ make clean
  • If you get errors about 'lperl not found' and 'lruby not found', make sure you have the disable switches. The MediaWiki extension doesn't seem to need them.
  • For the MW extension [1], after including in LocalSettings.php, i had to manually create the {wikipath}/images/graphviz directory for it to work.

Thanks! That works beautifully! -- JFinnis 04:14, 24 Jan 2007 (PST)


Worked great adding Graphviz Wordpress tool. Had to do 2 things; 1, edit the Graphviz.php to include the path to the dot binary (since it wasn't in the path); 2, slight modification to the urlImage variable since the web root was different than file root. -- kettlepot 11:18, 21 May 2010 (MST)

Graphviz, which is used by Salvatore Sanfilippo's Visitors web traffic analysis package, is installed and running well on my site.

Download pre-compiled binaries for Graphviz and Visitors

  1. You can download the pre-compiled binaries
    • The binaries were built on rodeo, who's uname is Linux rodeo 2.4.32-grsec+f6b+gr217+nfs+a32+fuse23+++opt+c6+gr2b-v6.192 i686 GNU/Linux)
  2. It runs by a cron job calling a makefile to setup the parameters and the targets.
    • The cron job is simply, 5 * * * * cd ~/graph; make >& /dev/null
