you can use as an example hello world program an example from the bgl
online documentation:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/libs/graph/doc/table_of_contents.html

For example
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/libs/graph/example/file_dependencies.cpp

Fyi, in the Ubuntu repository boost is packaged into a set of packages -
you can list them via:
$ apt-cache search libboost

To check if bgl is allready installed you can type
$ dpkg -l libboost-graph-dev
