**Author:** [@dahlbaek](https://igraph.discourse.group/u/dahlbaek)\ **Replies:** 5\ **Last updated:** [26 March 2020 22:43 UTC](https://igraph.discourse.group/t/rust-bindings-for-igraph/147 "2020-03-26T22:43:24Z")
I am planning to publish Rust bindings for igraph and want to ensure that I do it in accord with the wishes of the igraph developers. My main question here concerns the naming and licensing of the library, but please do … --- ## [Building --with-external-lapack on macOS](https://igraph.discourse.group/t/building-with-external-lapack-on-macos/128)

Has anyone succeeded in building igraph --with-external-lapack on macOS? If this is the only --with-external option I use, linking fails: Undefined symbols for architecture x86\_64: "\_xerbla\_", referenced from: … --- ## [TODO in unweighted shortest path implementations (BFS)?](https://igraph.discourse.group/t/todo-in-unweighted-shortest-path-implementations-bfs/125)

@Gabor Do you recall why this is marked as TODO? I don’t see what’s wrong. There are several instances of the same and I am working with this code at the moment. --- ## [How to include links in the docs?](https://igraph.discourse.group/t/how-to-include-links-in-the-docs/124)

Does anyone recall how to include links in the C docs? DocBook wants \ but including this verbatim in the doc comments does not work. I am looking to add a link on a piece of text (e.g. a paper’s title) i… --- ## [Do not use IGRAPH\_NAN in the docs](https://igraph.discourse.group/t/do-not-use-igraph-nan-in-the-docs/123)

A suggestion: let us not say things like "IGRAPH\_NAN is returned" in the documentation. This may mislead some users into thinking that they can test the return value using if (x == IGRAPH\_NAN) .... That is not possible, i… --- ## [Stochastic Block Model algorithm](https://igraph.discourse.group/t/stochastic-block-model-algorithm/115)

It would be nice if there would be an SBM clustering algorithm implemented in igraph. We currently only have SBM sampling functions (igraph\_sbm\_game and the like). @tamas, it seems you once developed an implementation o… --- ## [Idea: a generalization of the SIR functions](https://igraph.discourse.group/t/idea-a-generalization-of-the-sir-functions/86)

This is just an idea (I won’t be working on it due to other priorities). igraph has some very basic stochastic SIR modelling functionality. It would be a cool extension to have a function which runs a similar stochasti… --- ## ['./configure' script is run a second time after 'make'](https://igraph.discourse.group/t/configure-script-is-run-a-second-time-after-make/84)

Recently, after doing ./configure, then invoking make, the configure script is run yet another time. @tamas do you have any idea why this started to happen? Here’s a snippet from the output of my script that basically d… --- ## [Investigate using link-time optimization for official binaries](https://igraph.discourse.group/t/investigate-using-link-time-optimization-for-official-binaries/68)

igraph is written in C89 (not C++), which does not have explicit support for inline functions. Usually, the compiler would automatically inline functions where possible, but it can not do this across compilation units—un… --- ## [What is "igraph-python" on PyPI?](https://igraph.discourse.group/t/what-is-igraph-python-on-pypi/66)

@tamas Have you seen igraph-python on PyPI? Do you know what it is and who the uploader is? The description suggests that it is the same as python-igraph, and it has versions 0.7.2, 0.7.3 and 0.7.4, all uploaded in 2018 … --- ## [Can we split off nexus to a separate repo?](https://igraph.discourse.group/t/can-we-split-off-nexus-to-a-separate-repo/60)

Currently, the nexus files are in the C core repo: https://github.com/igraph/igraph/tree/master/nexus As I understand, this is independent functionality. Should we split it off into a separate repo? Though nexus is offl… --- ## [Some functions don't show up in the docs](https://igraph.discourse.group/t/some-functions-dont-show-up-in-the-docs/28)

Some functions which are explicitly included in the .xxml files do not show up in the generated documentation. Example: igraph\_dim\_select in If I add the missing \
