Description Klaus Kämpf 2005-11-25 11:19:53 UTC 
When running dot as part of 'doxygen', it complains about
  Error: Layout was not done.  Missing layout plugins?

Google found this one
  http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105041
which says one must run "dot -c"

Trying so results in
> dot -c
Error: failed to open /usr/lib64/graphviz/config for write.

Repeating this as root succeeds.

After that, also 'doxygen' runs without error.

Looks like "dot -c" should be run in the postinstall of graphviz
(otoh, its an empty directory. So just creating it during build and add it as %dir to the %files section might be a better choice ?!)
