I have to specify the toolset even if there is only one using line in 
user-config.jam:

tar xf boost_1_52_0.tar.bz2
cd boost_1_52_0/
./bootstrap.sh
echo "using cray : 8.1.1 : CC ;" >> ./tools/build/v2/user-config.jam
./b2 --with-test -d2

prints:

Building the Boost C++ Libraries.

If I change the using line to gcc : 4.7.2 : CC then it works without 
specifying the toolset. Both using intel : 13.0.0 : CC ; and using pgi : 
12.9 : CC ; also try to use gcc if I don't specify the toolset. Compiler 
versions are:
