No problem. I don't know if this is related, or if this should be the  
topic of a new thread. I'm trying to get BoostBook and QuickBook up and  
running, but am running into trouble. I've successfully run  
tools/boostbook/setup_boostbook.py from tools/boostbook/installs. I've  
successfully run build/bootstrap.sh from build so that b2.exe and bjam.exe  
were created in build. If I follow the directions at the end of  
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/quickbook/install.html, the  
following error messages:

  ../build/bjam.exe ./Jamfile.v2
<snip>/tools/build/src/build/project.jam:262: in find-jamfile from module  
project
error: Unable to load Jamfile.
error: Could not find a Jamfile in directory '../../tools/inspect/build'.
error: Attempted to find it with pattern '[Bb]uild.jam [Jj]amfile.v2  
[Jj]amfile [Jj]amfile.jam'.
error: Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.

If on the other hand I do run bjam from the tools/build I get:

./bjam.exe ../quickbook/Jamfile.v2

but no quickbook executable.
