Try to use the command line with changed back slash to slash, i.e.
C:\Python25 to C:/Python25
 
 
With Kind Regards,

Subject: [Boost-users] Installation problems

Hello Dear Boosters!

Merry X'MAS and Happy New Year!

I have some problems when installing the current version from cvs.
I tried in Windows XP with VC++ 2003 and Python 2.5. 

* Command 1 

C:\Source\boost>bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 --with-python-version=2.5
--with-python-root=C:\Python25 --prefix="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio .NET 2003\Vc7" install

* Result

error: wrong library name 'python-version=2.5' in the --with-<library>
option.

-------
*Command 2

C:\Source\boost>bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 --with-python-root=C:\Python25
--with-python-version=2.5 --prefix="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
.NET 2003\Vc7" install

*Result

error: wrong library name 'python-root=C:\Python25' in the --with-<library>
option.

--------
* Command 3 ( Defining PYTHON_ROOT and PYTHON_VERSION)

C:\Source\boost>bjam -sTOOLS=vc-7_1 --prefix="C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7" install

* Result 

The mpi module has not been initialized; MPI libraries will not be built.
hint: add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam to enable MPI support.

Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
(and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it).

--------

*** From this message, it can also be observed that even though "vc-7_1" was
defined as toolset, bjam is using "msvc" 

I tried to install the same version in a Mac and problem is the same.

Any ideas or fixes to this problem? I should notice that I am using the bjam
(from source) obtained from the cvs version of boost 

Thank you in advance.
