Yup, send it to me anyway. Of course it helps if you can cut it down a  
little bit as long as it still produces the error deterministically.

Is there a difference between the OS of the two machines? (E.g., one  
is 32-bit while the other is 64-bit or so)

Do you have a file named core.so in the directory where the Python  
interface is installed? Also note that core.so requires libigraph.so.0  
which was compiled with the C core, so it might be missing  
libigraph.so.0 instead. Note that libigraph.so.0 must be either in / 
lib, /usr/lib or you must specify the directory containing  
libigraph.so.0 explicitly before launching Python:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/figa/wherever/libigraph.so.0/is
python

Personally, I do the following when I have to install igraph on a  
machine where I don't have root access:

1. Download and extract the igraph source code
2. ./configure --prefix=/home/tamas && make && make install  -- this  
installs the igraph library in /home/tamas/lib and the include files  
in /home/tamas/include/igraph
3. Add the following line to my .bashrc to make the dynamic library  
loader find libigraph.so:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/tamas/lib
4. Log out and log back in so the OS picks up the changes in my .bashrc
5. Download the Python interface
6. Edit setup.cfg in the Python interface to point to the right  
include path (/home/tamas/include) and the right library path (/home/ 
tamas/lib)
7. Compile and install the Python interface in my home dir
8. Run python and import igraph
