Yes
1. Your project uses Boost.Graph in some way.
2. Boost graph uses flex, but does not contain "using flex ; " anywhere.
Adding 
 
     using flex ;
     using bison ;

to /home/pattan/repo/trunk/libs/graph/build/Jamfile.v2 should fix this issue.

In V1? Probably <library-file> feature can be used.
