[Bug 1409280] [NEW] Graphviz's sfdp is seriuosly crippled without a triangulation library

[John Ellson]

Fede,

How old are your graphviz sources?

When I look at HEAD in git, it looks like --with-gts is the default.

Perhaps you are missing the gts-devel package (maybe libgts-dev) and 
configure is trying to fall back to a non-gts build?

Title:
  Graphviz's sfdp is seriuosly crippled without a triangulation library

Status in graphviz package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The Graphviz package is built --without-gts. This is bad news for
  sfdp, which complains “Error: remove_overlap: Graphviz not built with
  triangulation library” and fails to produce the beautiful output it
  creates when compiled --with-gts.

  I saw no real justification for this setting, other than a note from
  2008 saying that the flag was added to prevent GTS from being linked
  in “for now”.

  It's been nearly eight years... maybe time to reconsider?
