problems building quickbook

Hi all,

I am trying to build the qickbook, and I am pretty close to becomming
frustrated. So far I was able to build the bjam.exe (from CVS) and get the
Boost.Build 2 (downloaded executable). I also uncommented the GCC tool in
user-config.jam, and was able to build the hello example.

Now I cd to the quickbook directory (CVS) and there is Jamfile.v2 there. So
I run bjam --v2.

If I try to rely only on BOOST_BUILD_PATH, I am getting the following:

C:\boost_cvs\boost\tools\quickbook>bjam --v2

If I create boost-build.jam, and place the root path there, the error is
different:

Any hints?

Thanks in advance for any help.
