Some of the interfaces changed in more recent versions of Boost. The F-R example you posted seems to use the new interface, though, but the K-K one doesn't. I'll take a look later today, though.

The F-R function requires a displacement map or a vertex index map (used to create an internal displacement map). Adding boost::vertex_index_map(vertexIdMap) as the last argument to boost::fruchterman_reingold_force_directed_layout makes the code work. By the way, vertex indices need to be numbers from 0 to num_vertices(g)-1, and so the numbers you are putting into that property map have an incorrect range.
