I have been working through the tutorial portion of "The Boost Graph Library: User Guide and Reference Manual", and have been unable to get example code that includes calls to read_graphviz to link.  For example, code including this line:

read_graphviz("figs/ospf-graph.dot", g_dot);

Any ideas what I'm missing and how I might fix it, or what I need to read to find out, would be appreciated.

I remember having similar problems last time I tried to use the graphviz stuff. Basically, the "parameter-extracting" version that you're calling instantiates a function that doesn't really exist, hence the linker error. You have to be more very specific when calling read_graphviz. and pass in the istream and a dynamic_properties object. I think you can omit the "id" string. I think that gave me some problems too.
