 I attempted to follow the instructions in "Getting Started for Linux",
 but building with "b2" fails :

 $ ./bootstrap.sh install --prefix=/usr
 Building Boost.Build engine with toolset gcc...
 tools/build/v2/engine/bin.linuxx86_64/b2
 Detecting Python version... 2.7
 Detecting Python root... /usr/lib64/python2.7.1
 Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?... /usr
 Backing up existing Boost.Build configuration in project-config.jam.1
 Generating Boost.Build configuration in project-config.jam...

 Bootstrapping is done. To build, run:

     ./b2

 To adjust configuration, edit 'project-config.jam'.
 Further information:

    - Command line help:
      ./b2 --help

 Is this a python problem ? What version of python should I be using ?

 What extra python modules do I need ?

 Anyone got a GNU make(1) Makefile for Boost to build with Linux GCC
 toolchain,
 or one which does not use python ?
