Sure, I've compiled earlier versions of BGL with GCC (of course this proves little since we might
have been using different parts).  According to the compiler status page the graph test also works
under BCC and VC6SP5.

http://www.boost.org/status/cs-win32.html

Which again doesn't prove much since we don't know the difference in what you are doing from the
graph test does.

>From your previous mail the GCC problems doesn't seem to be a boost problem at all:

:\data\software\code\controlled\snowbird\support\hminetworkservices\net

x27)://c/data/software/code/controlled/snowbird/support/hminetworkservic
es/networklib/maindll.cpp: undefined reference to `cerr'

This looks to be an environment issue because it is complaining about not being able to find
standard library components: cerr and endl.

Hope this helps.
