Hello,
From the http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#prepare-to-use-a-boost-library-binary section 5, I run:

$ bjam toolset=darwin --verbose-test test

and get this output:

Then going to:

$ cd ../tutorial
$ $ bjam --user-config=$HOME/user-config.jam
error: Unable to find file or target named
error:     '/boost/python/boost_python'
error: referred from project at
error:     '.'

Here is my user-config.jam

$ cat $HOME/user-config.jam
# Boost.Build Configuration
# Automatically generated by Boost configure

# Compiler configuration
using darwin ;

# Python configuration
using python : 2.6 : /Users/khinester/usr/local/python/bin/python ;


What am I missing to get my python interpreter to work with boost?

Many thanks
