bit hard to answer your question without knowing how much you know about 
linux.

you probably do not care about jam.
'location accessible in your path' - an example is /bin (don't use this 
though:) or /usr/local/bin. 
in a shell - echo $PATH
if you place bjam in one of the directories in your PATH then when you 
type bjam it will know how to find it. I personally would add the full 
directory structure of bin.linuxx86 to your PATH variable.

Also you may find you do not have execute permissions set on bjam, have 
you verified this?

You can verify bjam is in your path by typing:
which bjam

If that shows the full path then it is most likely a permissions problem.
use chmod +x <bjam-executable>

good luck, hope I havn't lied too much:)
