Hello,

Yes, this does work -thanks (although only for VC7.1, but not for VC8). I've
copied libbgl-viz.lib to C:\Boost\lib.

The problem is that I cannot compile the code below:

#include <boost/graph/graphviz.hpp> 
using namespace boost;
int
main()
{
  GraphvizGraph g;
  read_graphviz("cc-internet.dot", g);
}

Vc tells me:
ErdosRenyi error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl
boost::read_graphviz(class std::basic_string<char,struct
std::char_traits<char> ... 
ErdosRenyi fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

I've added C:\Boost\include\boost-1_33_1 to the include files dirs and
C:\Boost\lib to the library files dirs in MS VC under Tools, Options,
Projects.

So I'm a bit confused -do I need to do anything else to be able to use
read_graphviz ?

Thanks,
Rui
