The binary for Boost.Graph is named differently from all the other library binaries; in particular it is called libbgl-viz-xxx rather than libboost_graph-xxx. This is going to complicate the Getting Started Guide, and although I understand the desire to make it clear that the library is only needed for use with GraphViz, I wonder if this nonuniformity is really worth the price. Can we change the name? We can always install aliases on *nix to smooth the transition. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

We've meant to do this for quite a while, because that library is probably going to gain more compiled code along the way. I'm changing the library name to "boost_graph" in CVS now. Cheers, Doug
