Hi, I am working on the Boost Graph Library, currently trying to create an interface of the biconnected_components method to a Python code. I used the example code available here https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_67_0/libs/graph/example/biconnected_compone... for the method and modified it for my purpose. The template of the method is here https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_67_0/libs/graph/doc/biconnected_components..... The final code seems fine but I get an error while compiling it. And the errors are related to adjacency.hpp which I have not changed so I'm confused as to what the exact problem is. Hoping someone can help me out. My code: class BoostGraph { private: typedef typename boost::adjacency_list< OutEdgeListS, VertexListS, DirectedS, boost::property, EdgeProperty, boost::no_property, EdgeListS> adjacency_list; typedef typename boost::property_map::type components; public: adjacency_list graph; std::vector bc_tree() { components components_bc = get(boost::edge_index, graph); std::size_t num_comps = biconnected_components(graph, components_bc); std::cerr << "Found " << num_comps << " biconnected components.\n"; std::vector art_points; articulation_points(graph, std::back_inserter(art_points)); std::cerr << "Found " << art_points.size() << " articulation points.\n"; std::vector to_return; return to_return; } The error I'm getting: build/cythonized/sage/graphs/base/boost_graph.cpp:3730:26: required from here /home/meghana/Documents/sage_gsoc/sage_may/sage/local/include/boost/graph/detail/adjacency_list.hpp:2696:29: error: forming reference to void typedef value_type& reference; ^ /home/meghana/Documents/sage_gsoc/sage_may/sage/local/include/boost/graph/detail/adjacency_list.hpp:2697:35: error: forming reference to void typedef const value_type& const_reference; ^ /home/meghana/Documents/sage_gsoc/sage_may/sage/local/include/boost/graph/detail/adjacency_list.hpp:2701:61: error: forming reference to void typename Graph::vertex_descriptor,Property,Tag> type; ^ /home/meghana/Documents/sage_gsoc/sage_may/sage/local/include/boost/graph/detail/adjacency_list.hpp:2704:68: error: forming reference to void typename Graph::vertex_descriptor,const Property, Tag> const_type; ^ error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 Makefile:33: recipe for target 'sage' failed make: *** [sage] Error 1 Thank you, Meghana
