Re: [Doxygen-users] Doxygen can't find dot

[Marinna L. <ma...@vi...>]

It is in the PATH.   I checked the first time I had issues last week.  
It was at the end of the PATH, so I moved it to the front to give it 
priority.  I enclosed the path in quotes, I removed the quotes. Like I 
said in my original post, my PATH is fine and points to the Graphviz bin 
directory.  In fact, I have been able to run dot fine from the command 
line. Only Doxygen has issues.  I actually have to use a script to 
compile the dot files that Doxygen generates because Doxygen produces 
them, but it doesn't manage to produce the images for some reason.
