Ok, these hints seems to be enough. I filed a PR [1] for this and hope,
it will be committed after some not to long time. I have been asked in
the last weeks from a few people how to build GGobi and only could
advise, to temporarily deinstall GraphViz before building GGobi. That
should be better now :)
