This suggests a syntax error. Maybe, you forgot to add whitespace before ";"
somewhere?

I think you need to quote all paths containing spaces, for example:

        <search>"C:\Documents and Settings\Stevo\My Documents\Maps\osm2pgsql"

In fact, I'd suggest you do more like this:

        path-constant LIBRARIES : "C:\Documents and Settings\Stevo\My Documents\Maps\osm2pgsql" ;
        project your_project : requirements <search>$(LIBRARIES) ;
        lib z : : <name>libz ;

You have commented out the ":" separating sources and properties, it seems.

I don't see the trailing ";" here. It would have helped if you just attach you
Jamfile, so that I can be sure you haven't forgot to copy-paste some bits.
