I've compiled boost on other computers many times so I'm sure there is something wrong with the configuration of the computer, but I don't know where to look to find the problem. Is there a way to get more verbose output from the bootstrap process so I can track down the problem? I've copied my bootstrap.log below. I've tried this with 1.55 and 1.54
