I'd snipped the compilation, as it was pretty lengthy and didn't 
contain anything that stood out to me.

I've attached a text file with the output from the compilation, on the 
off chance that something in it helps.

I downloaded R.app from CRAN, and the prebuilt igraph looks like it 
installed without complaint. Looking at that igraph.so with nm, I don't 
see any reference to that function

% nm ./igraph.so | egrep '_colamd'

000000000003c550 T __glp_colamd_report
000000000003c2c0 T __glp_colamd_set_defaults

Google shows some references to this function in SuiteSparse, so I'm 
uninstalling it and will try to install igraph again, and see if maybe 
there was some sort of conflict there, but any other thoughts you might 
have would be greatly appreciated.
