Sphinx: graphviz

[shimizukawa]

The graphviz extension does not work for me.

Trying the following code:

.. graph:: foo
"bar" -- "baz";

I get an error:

WARNING: dot command 'dot' cannot be run (needed for graphviz output), check the graphviz_dot setting

Exception occurred:
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Sphinx-0.6.2-py2.6.egg/sphinx/ext/graphviz.py", line 130, in render_dot_html
    fname, outfn = render_dot(self, code, options, 'png', prefix)

Apparently, I did not have the graphviz binary installed.
I still think the program should have a clearer message about the binary not being installed, rather than throwing a TypeError which does not provide any guidance on how to fix the problem.

Should be fixed in <>.
