This worked for me.

Hello,

Indeed, this is a common issue and quite a misleading error message (which is likely to be fixed in igraph 0.6). The problem is that igraph is not able to find a suitable image viewer on your machine to show the generated plot. It can be worked around by creating a file called .igraphrc in your home and adding the following lines:

[apps]
image_viewer = /usr/bin/whatever-image-viewer-you-use

igraph tries quite a few image viewers by default (see get_platform_image_viewer() in igraph/configuration.py for a list), but apparently your system has none of them. If you tell me which image viewer you use, I'll add it to the next release.
