Hi All,
  I have a very basic question that I figured I might after fruitless effort trying to solve.
  I was able to succesfully download and install Boost as the root user.
  I also succesfully tried out the example for http under /libs/asio/example/http/server, bjammed it and run it fine.
  Now I logged in as a user that is not root. I copied the example to a custom directory, copied and changed boost-build.jam to update $BOOST_ROOT used by boost-build.
  Then when I run bjam, I get these 2 errors:
*could not find parent for project at '.'
  * Did not find Jamfile.jam or Jamroot.jam in any parent directory
   
  my question is, what do I need to put in the Jamroot, if one is needed?
   
  Thank you very much, you help is very much appreciated in advance.
