Thanks for your help. I guess the graph_parallel lib is included in the libboost_mpi.a. I tried compiling the program adjlist_build_test.cpp in the libs/graph_parallel/test directory but I am getting the following error. ~/bin/boostpath is the directory I gave in --prefix during install. What could be the problem ?

[pragatheeswaran@prairiefire ~]$ cd boost_1_41_0/libs/graph_parallel/test/

[pragatheeswaran@prairiefire test]$ mpic++ -I ~/bin/boostpath/include adjlist_build_test.cpp -L ~/bin/boostpath/lib/ -lboost_mpi -lboost_serialization
