I wish it was that simple... Here's my user-config.jam :

#
# Boost.Build Configuration
# Automatically generated by Boost configure

# Compiler configuration
using darwin ;

using mpi ;

using xsltproc : "/usr/bin/xsltproc" ;

using boostbook
         : "/usr/local/docbook/docbook-xsl-1.73.0"
         : "/usr/local/docbook/docbook-xml-4"
         ;

using doxygen : "/usr/local/bin/doxygen" ;

  I get weird and discrepant results depending on whether I use  
1.34.1 or CVS-HEAD. In the former case, is get the following error  
about boostbook initialization when I run bjam --v2 --toolset=darwin  
html in the libs/units/doc directory:

warn: Unable to construct ./standalone
error: the boostbook module is not initialized
error: you've attempted to use the 'doxygen' toolset,
error: which requires Boost.Book,
error: but never initialized Boost.Book.
error: Hint: add 'using boostbook ;' to your user-config.jam

I have no idea what ./standalone is or is supposed to do. In the  
latter case, bjam appears to run OK, though the warning about ./ 
standalone is still there. However, as far as I can tell, there is no  
html output. I do get this :

quickbook.quickbook-to-boostbook ../../../bin.v2/libs/units/doc/ 
darwin/debug/units.xml
Generating Output File: ../../../bin.v2/libs/units/doc/darwin/debug/ 
units.xml

and units.xml is being regenerated, but I don't get any html output.  
Argh. In all cases, I delete the bin.v2 directory before running  
bjam, and the paths specified are correct (xsltproc and doxygen are  
actually in the default path, but it doesn't appear to matter whether  
I have the path or not).

Anyone have any ideas?
