I get:

--------------------------------------------------------
[root_at_pelican] ~/links/flx/boost/build>jam -fallyourbase
allyourbase: No such file or directory
don't know how to make all
...found 1 target...
...can't find 1 target...
--------------------------------------------------------

I have no idea what I'm doing or how jam works :-)
I tried:

------------------------------------------------------
[root_at_pelican] ~/links/flx/boost/build>jam -fboost-base.jam
don't know how to make all
...found 1 target...
...can't find 1 target...
-------------------------------------------------------
What kind of silly diagnostic is this?

--------------------------------------------------------
[root_at_pelican] ~/links/flx/boost/build>jam -funit-tests 
unit-tests: No such file or directory
don't know how to make all
...found 1 target...
...can't find 1 target...
-------------------------------------------------------

and:

-------------------------------------------------------
root_at_pelican] ~/links/flx/boost/libs/python/build>jam
-f../../../build/allyourbase.jam
don't know how to make /usr/lib/python1.5/config/libpython1.5.a
...found 367 targets...
...updating 137 targets...
...can't find 1 target...
...can't make 40 targets...

OK! it isn't compiling, but at least the build system is doing
something!
