You could try LEDA 
(http://www.algorithmic-solutions.com/enledabeschreibung.htm)

I tend to write my own and use C++ rather than C. Although I'm told you 
can get C to compile a bit faster, C++ has the standard template 
library. That's a great advantage when you're programming networks 
because the standard template library has a lot of the data structures 
(sets, lists) that you might need and efficient algorithms (find, sort, 
permute) ready-written and tested. It's compatible with GSL in the sense 
that you can use some GSL functions (e.g. random number distributions) 
and features (e.g. representing adjacency matrices).
