I hadn't noticed that when b2 ran correctly it had created a new bjam, and that the old one was still being used. It has successfully wrapped the hello.cpp tutorial file, only now I can't get python to recognise it as I keep getting the error;
ImportError: libboost_python.so.1.61.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
despite what I do with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

based on your advice I believe I should probably 'start again', as It seems I cannot invoke bjam in it's current library without sudo due to permissions. I guess I should remove everything boost from my include path, and re-extract to somewhere in my home directory. Does Bootstrap.sh rely entirely on the files user-config.jam and site-config.jam, so that I can just preserve these and just change the path to boost?
Thanks again,
Alex
