Re: [Boost-build] FW: [BJam/Boost.Python] Issues Building with Boost.Build v2 using Boost 1.34.0

I am seeing the same errors when I attempt to compile on both a Mac  
and PC.  I posted the following to the development list.

installed boost 1.34.0 on a Window XP machine using mcvs 8.0 and was  
again able to successfully build all the boost libraries and received  
the same errors as on my Mac when I tried to build the boost python  
example.

I was able to discover a rule called python-extension in the file  
boost_1_34_0/tools/build/v2/python.jam

rule python-extension ( name : sources * : requirements * : default- 
build * :
                                           usage-requirements  * )
{
        ....
}

IMPORT python : python-extension : : python-extension ;

I am on a Mac with OS X 10.4 and trying to compile the boost/Python
examples in tutorial or quickstart using Bjam v3.1.14 OS=MACOSX.  I
issue the following command in the boost_1_34_0/libs/python/libs/
example directory

bjam --toolset=darwin test

I receive the following errors:

Jamroot:18: in modules.load
rule python-extension unknown in module Jamfile</Users/arthurcoleman/ 
Boost/boost_1_34_0/libs/python/example>.

build.jam:7: in module scope

Can someone help me since I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
By the way, I have tried as a superuser and get the same errors.  It
seemed that I was  able to successfully install boost from the
boost.../build director with the ./configure --toolset=darwin --show-
libraries ect.

Thanks in advance,

Arthur
