but the build.sh still gives me 

biot:/home/tk/boost/boost/tools/build/jam_src> ./build.sh

but whence indeed returns 1  if it's in the path :

biot:/home/tk/boost/boost/tools/build/jam_src> whence foo

biot:/home/tk/boost/boost/tools/build/jam_src> echo $?
1
biot:/home/tk/boost/boost/tools/build/jam_src> whence xlc
/usr/vacpp/bin/xlc
biot:/home/tk/boost/boost/tools/build/jam_src> echo $?
0
