You should probably be using the copy in Boost (in boost/graph/distributed and libs/graph_parallel); that will build with Boost's normal bjam system.
When running CMake, it said that it couldn't find boost_mpi. I read that I need to do
./bjam --with-mpi
I did that and it seemed to be successful (though very very quick):
You need "using mpi ;" in your project-config.jam for the build of Boost.MPI to do anything. Look at the Boost build documentation for how to give your MPI implementation location if Boost cannot detect it automatically.
-------------------- Component configuration:
... - mpi : building ...
...found 1 target...
The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built! --------------------
So my questions are:
1) Does PBGL not come with the normal boost package from sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.44.0/)?
It does; use ./bjam --with-graph_parallel to get it.
2) How can I tell if boost_mpi built properly?
Look for a suspiciously small library file, most likely; you can use "size" or "nm" ("nm -D" for a .so file) on Linux to see if it contains any code. -- Jeremiah Willcock
