[igraph] ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/..../igraph/core.so: undefined symbol: igraph_layout_star

[Jean-Paul Bouchet]

Hello
I would use python-igraph-0.5.4 on a Debian Squeeze server.
I have loaded the following packages:
apt-get install libigraph0
==> ... Paramétrage de libigraph0 (0.5.3-1) ...
apt-get install libigraph0-dev
==> ... Paramétrage de libigraph0-dev (0.5.3-1) ...

... then the python-igraph module:
wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/python-igraph/python-igraph-0.5.4.tar.gz

With the default version of Python (2.6.6), I have built and installed this module :
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
With just very few warnings such as :
gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -DDEBIAN -fPIC -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/python2.6 -c src/graphobject.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/src/graphobject.o
src/graphobject.c: In function ‘igraphmodule_Graph_layout_star’:
src/graphobject.c:4732: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘igraph_layout_star’

So it should be OK. But I meet the following error when I execute the program pyrocleaner.py which has calls to igraph:
python pyrocleaner.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pyrocleaner.py", line 35, in <module>
    from igraph import *
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/python_igraph-0.5.4-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/igraph/__init__.py", line 30, in <module>
    from igraph.core import *
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/python_igraph-0.5.4-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg/igraph/core.so: undefined symbol: igraph_layout_star

What have I missed ?
May be the packages libigraph0 and libigraph0-dev that I have launched are too old ?
Should I recompile and install igraph-0.5.4 as explained at http://igraph.wikidot.com/installing-python-igraph-on-linux ?
Or may I find somewhere more recent versions of these packages ?
