The Jamroot file is just for the tests and the quickbook documentation.
For running the test, I set the environment variable BOOST_ROOT explicitly to the root directory of a boost tree I want to use. Then I change into the directory where I want to run the tests, and type "b2" or "b2 test_case_name". I normally adjust the paths in numeric-bindings.jam first. You can also use "b2 numbind=mkl-gcc matlib=eigen" to specify that you want to test with "mkl" instead of lapack and and eigen instead of ublas.
