After downloading boost-cvs and then building from source, as described
here:

http://www.boost.org/tools/build/jam_src/index.html#building_bjam

I tried step 2 described here:

http://www.boost.org/doc/html/bbv2/installation.html

and got the result:

<---------- cut here --------------
cd ~/prog_dev/boost-cvs/boost/tools/build/
bjam
Jamfile: No such file or directory
Jamfile: No such file or directory
...found 8 targets...

Compilation finished at Thu May 19 08:55:15
>---------- cut here --------------

So, I tried using --v2, with result:

<---------- cut here --------------
cd ~/prog_dev/boost-cvs/boost/tools/build/
bjam --v2

What am I doing wrong?

TIA.
