The last two lines are erroneous, the line above them looks  
incorrect. You should report this failure to the author. And: where  
did you really install this "graphviz?"

Here above other failures happened. I can imagine that your  
environment is faulty. Check it with: env | sort. And look into the  
configure.log file to find details for what failed here. The line  
numbers will help to find the right lines in the LOG file. And in the  
configure script.

This "yes" is caused by a slightly faulty statement in the configure  
script. You should report it.

This looks like cross-compiling. "-arch <whatever> -isysroot  
<whereever>" should not be used when compiling for the native target.  
The errors below come from something faulty as noted first:

The other errors can be due to incorrectly using -isysroot. You  
should find the reason for this. Did you look into the configure.log  
file?

*This* value cannot be correct.
