[Boost-users] Newbie install on Mac: where are graph libs?

I 'm having trouble installing the Boost graph libraries (release: 
boost_1_31_0) on my Macintosh laptop. I'm running Mac OS 10.3.6 on an 
iBook G4 (933 MHz), with 640 MB SDRAM and a 60 GB drive. gcc version 
3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666). Darwin Kernel Version 
7.6.0.

I followed the installation instructions provided in the html document: 
Getting Started (http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html). The 
procedure seemed to work smoothly:

* The build script for Boost.Jam properly recognized the "darwin" 
toolset.
* The command:  bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" install properly initiated the 
install script.
* boost_python was not installed, but I didn't see this as a big deal 
since I don't use Python.

However, when the build was complete, I could not locate the Boost 
graph libraries. I could only find eight types of Boost libraries in 
/usr/local/lib. (For each type, there are eight associated libraries, 
as is described in Getting Started.) I do not see the graph libraries.

The boost libraries found after the build in /usr/local/lib include 
static and dynamic forms of:

libboost_date_time-1_31
libboost_filesystem-1_31
libboost_prg_exec_monitor-1_31
libboost_regex-1_31
libboost_signals-1_31
libboost_test_exec_monitor-1_31
libboost_thread-1_31
libboost_unit_test_framework-1_31

Is the graph library not installed as part of the standard 
installation? Perhaps the problem is related to boost_python? Or are 
they installed somewhere else? Is there a separate procedure I'm 
missing?

Thanks. I am not a UNIX super-user, and I don't have a lot of 
experience installing libraries. Please reply to mmfuller_at_tiem.utk.edu.
