What type of graph? What system are you working on? There are plenty of examples in BGL (boost_1_30_0/libs/graph/example). I found using graphviz is an effective way to experiment with BGL, but there are a few caviots. This is simply an I/O library. The actual package can be found at: http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/ First, the libbgl-viz.* library needed to be build via the Makefile in boost_1_30_0/libs/graph/src directory. Next, this is a Jamfile that can build the graphviz.cpp file from the example directory: exe graphviz : graphviz.cpp : <sysinclude>$(BOOST_BUILD_PATH) <library-file>/usr/local/lib/libbgl-viz.so : debug release <inlining>on #inlining prevents linker name clashes due to truncation! ; Note the BOOST_BUILD_PATH environment variable. If it is defined, bjam will work properly outside of the boost_1_30_0 directory tree. On my linux system, it is defined as: /home/jholle/boost_1_30_0 Another note. The <library-file> directive is the way to specify that a "foriegn" library be linked to. This works with both static and shared libraries. I assume on windows, the approbriate import library needs referencing. If one used the <lib> or <dll> directive here, it would produce a requirement that a Jamfile be associated with the library. jeremmim wrote:

hello, i have downloaded the boost_1_30_0.tar.gz package. and have unzipped it. it has worked succesfully. we don't know what to do next: we'd like to use this library to build a graph.
