Anaconda's system is mostly (or only?) targeted for python packages.
Graph-tool have some non-python dependencies. I wish more time would be
spent towards a package repo that's cross platform and not only targeted
for a single language. I believe nixpkgs (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs)
can be that. Graph-tool have been in there for over a year (
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/python-modules/graph-tool/2.x.x.nix).
Some people are supporting OS X, and the CI tool, hydra have been set up
with both OS X and linux machines. I can only say that graph-tool at the
moment works in linux because that's what I use.
