Hello everyone!

I get this error when running bjam:

-------------------------

It says 'boost_python-vc80-mt-gd-1_34_1.lib' is missing, but it is there 
in "F:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_34_1\lib"...

I found a "bin.v2" folder at my root Boost installation, take a look:

F:\Program 
Files\boost\boost_1_34_1\bin.v2\libs\python\build\msvc\debug\threading-multi

There's a .dll with the problematic filename, but not a .lib... Maybe 
bjam is looking in that folder instead of the first one? Should I copy 
the contents of one folder to the other? In what direction should I do that?

Thanks!
