Hi all!
Sorry if this is second time))

Hello Daniel,
Unfortunately I can't follow you, but I've encountered with similar (I
gues)) problem, could you take a look pleace at these posts.

http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2006/02/17168.php

Then reply from Doug

http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2006/02/17586.php

And in the end all compiles fine with the following modification in
boos/graph/properties.hpp

Is this what about you talk?
Salutas!
