Hi, I downloaded and ran bjam from the BOOST home directory. Most of the projects compiled OK. But projects using read_graphviz_spirit.cpp cause "cl.exe" to terminate. cl.exe resulted in an buffer overrun error. The cl compiler I'm using is MSVC++ 7.1 standard edition (no optimization). The OS is Windows XP Pro Thanks, King --------------------------------------------------------------- P.S: The following results from rerunning the bjam utility: WARNING: No python installation configured and autoconfiguration failed.
