Re: [Boost-users] boost graph library with gcc 4.2 and later (Andrew Sutton)

      Hi,
Below is the details of my problem:

gcc version and system: g++ (Debian 4.3.1-9) 4.3.1

I tried to compile the graph example (boost/libs/graph/example/graph.cpp)
using the following command:
g++ -Wall -I /cs/phd/freiman/include/boost_1_36_0 graph.cpp -o graph

and got the following message about deprecated headers:
---------------------------------------- OUTPUT

The running of this file was o.k.

When I tried to compile the kolmogorov max-flow example
(boost/libs/graph/example/kolmogorov-eg.cpp) using the following command:

 g++ -Wall -I /cs/phd/freiman/include/boost_1_36_0 kolmogorov-eg.cpp  -o
kolmogorov-eg

I got the following:

which has error due to the strcmp function in line 140 in the file:
read_dimacs.hpp
I added the required header file (string.h) and only the warnings remain.

When I tried to run this example using the following command:

kolmogorov-eg < max_flow.dat

I got a segmentation fault:

I tried to understand where the seg. fault came from using valgrind and it
runs without seg. fault but with many "invalid read" errors, that seems to
come from the file read_dimacs.hpp, line 118

Using the same code with WinXP and visual studio 2003, yields no problems.

Any idea?

Thanks,
Moti

I'm a newbie to boost and have a storng interest in the graph algorithms
in
...
boost.
I tried to run both kolmogorov and edmund-karp examples and got many
...
warnings due to deprecated  conversions in the read_dimacs function
When I tried to run these examples I got segmentation faults.
Other simple program (from boost homepage) that I tried to compile and
run,
run well.
Is there any known issue about using boost with gcc 4 and later?
You need to be more specific about the errors system that you're building
for and the errors that you're getting. Which version of Boost? Which
compiler (very specifically)? What are the warnings? Can you tell what's
causing the error?
