Same issue on OS X Yosemite 10.10.2

[wuillou8]

same for me on yosemite 10.10.3

[jagrafft]

Same on Windows 8.

Switching what follows the -T command on line 85 of dots.jl:

stdin, proc = open(`neato -Tx11`, "w")

From x11 to a GraphViz Output Format should clean that error up, so long as your system supports the format you choose.

I can't get a plot yet, but that's because I am getting this error now plot --> Linux #176.

As a partial solution, I recommend (shamelessly) using my IJuliaPortrayals package, at least for interactive Jupyter-based work. For example,

using Graphs
using IJuliaPortrayals

g = simple_complete_graph(10)
GraphViz(to_dot(g), "circo", "svg")

@jbn: Good job! Nice library!
