[Boost-build] Folder hiarchy

I've wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how things are supposed 
to work together path wise:

For MSVC boost.build auto links the boost libraries so it requires 
nothing in the jamefile.

For GCC I've done this:

lib utils : utils.cpp /boost/filesystem//fs ;

As mentioned at 
http://beta.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/tutorial/linkage.html

Error:

error: Unable to find file or target named
error:     '/boost/filesystem//fs'
error: referred from project at
error:     '.'

I don't even know the syntax of the /boost/filesystem//fs part or where 
it looks for this, and I'm having a hard time finding any documentation 
about it.

However, when I call bjam in my project folder It finds 1300 targets or 
so, which I assume is because it picks up boost. So why doesn't it find 
the lib?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Christian
