Newbie install on Mac: where are graph libs?
I 'm having trouble installing the Boost graph libraries (release: boost_1_31_0) on my Macintosh laptop. I'm running Mac OS 10.3.6 on an iBook G4 (933 MHz), with 640 MB SDRAM and a 60 GB drive. gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666). Darwin Kernel Version 7.6.0. I followed the installation instructions provided in the html document: Getting Started (http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html). The procedure seemed to work smoothly: * The build script for Boost.Jam properly recognized the "darwin" toolset. * The command: bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" install properly initiated the install script. * boost_python was not installed, but I didn't see this as a big deal since I don't use Python. However, when the build was complete, I could not locate the Boost graph libraries. I could only find eight types of Boost libraries in /usr/local/lib. (For each type, there are eight associated libraries, as is described in Getting Started.) I do not see the graph libraries. The boost libraries found after the build in /usr/local/lib include static and dynamic forms of: libboost_date_time-1_31 libboost_filesystem-1_31 libboost_prg_exec_monitor-1_31 libboost_regex-1_31 libboost_signals-1_31 libboost_test_exec_monitor-1_31 libboost_thread-1_31 libboost_unit_test_framework-1_31 Is the graph library not installed as part of the standard installation? Perhaps the problem is related to boost_python? Or are they installed somewhere else? Is there a separate procedure I'm missing? Thanks. I am not a UNIX super-user, and I don't have a lot of experience installing libraries. Please reply to mmfuller@tiem.utk.edu.

Take a look in /usr/local/include/graph -- you should see a wealth of header files, comprising the entire BGL. It's like the STL that way. Have fun with it! Cheers, Meredith L. Patterson PS. Doug, thanks for the heads-up on the write_graphviz fix for 1.32.0. I'll use my workaround for now, but I look forward to the real one. :)

The Boost Graph library consists of headers only, there are no separate sources to compile, and hence no libraries to install for it, just include Boost in your compiler's include path and away you go, John.
Actually, there is, the bgl-viz library. This is just an optional I/O package that allows creating graphviz dot files. The reason you might want to do this is the graphviz package does a good job of laying out a graph diagram. This library doesn't get built in the primary boost build. To build it, go to $BOOST/libs/graph/build and run bjam. John Maddock wrote:

To be slightly picky... you only need bgl-viz if you're going to read in GraphViz files. To write them, you only need to include the headers. Doug
