    dot is failing with the following error after each line:
    Error:  Layout was not done.  Missing layout plugins?

    Graphviz: 2.6
    SchemaSpy: 1.6.2
    Linux
    Java5
    Mysql 4.1.14
    MySQL JDBC driver 3.1.10

    Thank you!  I'm really hoping to get SchemaSpy working -- it looks great.

      I assume it's some form of Graphviz configuration problem.  Hopefully the people at www.graphviz.org have seen it before.  They've got a mailing list that's very responsive.  Attach a small .dot file that reproduces the problem if you can.

      I know that some people have had problems with Graphviz 2.6 on various Unix derivitives...you might want to try 2.2.1 from http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/ARCHIVE/.  SchemaSpy will take advantage of some 2.6 features if it's installed, but that's pointless if 2.6 doesn't work.

      Thanks -- I'm using Graphviz 2.2.1 and now it is working great.  Thank you!

      It's a shame that you had to revert to 2.2.1.  2.6 fixed a problem with connecting to the correct position on the East or West edge of a node.  SchemaSpy takes advantage of the fix if it detects an appropriate version.
