Okay, thanks for clearing that up.

Thanks for the tip.

However... When I do the above, I get the following errors:

/boost.jam: No such file or directory
/usr/local/boost/tools/build/v2/build/toolset.jam:27: in toolset.using
rule /boost.init unknown in module toolset.
/usr/local/boost/tools/build/v2/build/project.jam:794: in using
Jamfile.v2:5: in modules.load
/usr/local/boost/tools/build/v2/build/project.jam:312: in load-jamfile

/usr/local/boost/tools/build/v2/kernel/bootstrap.jam:132: in boost-build
/usr/local/boost/boost-build.jam:10: in module scope

I'm on Linux using GCC 4.1 -- I did a search for boost.jam in
/usr/local/boost but I don't see one.

What am I missing here?
