Please don't top-post. This error means that there are two targets which
produce the same file. This occurs because install rule by default 
copies files without preserving directory hierarchy. To preserve
hierarchy you must specify <install-source-root>.

See

http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/html/bbv2/tasks/installing.html
Section "Preserving Directory Hierarchy".

E.g.

install dataToCopy
:
     [ path.glob-tree /path/aaa : *.* ]
:
     <location>/destination/path
     <install-source-root>/path/aaa
;
