you don't have to do this. Edge ids always go from zero to 
number_of_edges-1. You can do something like:

igraph_vector_t weights;
long int ec=igraph_ecount(&community_graph);
igraph_vector_init(&weights, ec);
for (e=0; e<ec; e++) {
  VECTOR(weights)[e] = EAN(community_graph, "weight", e);
}

It is quite stupid, we should have an EANV function that gives back
all value at once in a vector. THe thing is that noone was really
using attributes from C, but it seems now that some people started 
doing this...

Hmmm, we have just corrected some bugs, I think you need to make the
changes listed here:
http://cneurocvs.rmki.kfki.hu/cgi-bin/archzoom.cgi/address@hidden/igraph--main--0.6--patch-30/src/cattributes.c.diff?diff

I think the very last change is causing your trouble. Then you need 
to recompile and reinstall igraph.

Please tell me if this helps,
G.
