[Boost-users] Re: graphviz compile problem

If I'd have to guess, I'd say that vertex_index is a vertex_descriptor 
when using VecS.
I use write_graphviz with my graph employing VecS without a problem.
I notice that your graph uses ListS.
As a test, try switching to VecS, this would add clarity to the problem...
