Compilation fails with ambiguous call to `vertex()` error

  • [Y] Are you running the latest graph-tool version?
  • [Y] Do you observe the problem with the current git version?
  • [Y] Did you compile graph-tool manually?
  • [N] If you answered yes above, did you use the exact same compiler to build graph-tool, boost-python and Python?

Compiling graph-tool (./configure && make && make install) from the AUR, the latest release on the website, and 'master' branch of git fails with the following compile error:

../../../src/graph/graph_util.hh:193:24: error: call of overloaded ‘vertex(size_t&, const boost::reversed_graph<boost::adj_list<long unsigned int>, const boost::adj_list<long unsigned int>&>&)’ is ambiguous

I'm attaching a file with the full configure and make output (when compiling the git master), as well as config.log.

Environment:

  • OS: Arch Linux latest
  • Python 3.6.5 (default, Apr 14 2018, 13:17:30); [GCC 7.3.1 20180406] on linux
  • Compiler: g++ (GCC) 8.1.0
  • Boost: boost 1.66.0-2; boost-libs 1.66.0-2
