Hello,

I want to use colorgcc to enable some nice coloring of warnings and errors from gcc.
What I tried in my Jamroot was this:

using gcc : : colorgcc ;

colorgcc is in my path. Doing bjam toolset=gcc gives me this:

error: at /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:825 
error: duplicate initialization of gcc with the following parameters: 
error: version = 4.4.1

Then I tried to use a new version:

using gcc : 4.5 : colorgcc ;

Doing bjam toolset=gcc-4.5 gives me this:

error: at /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:825 
error: duplicate initialization of gcc with the following parameters: 
error: version = 4.5

Right now I don't know what to try next. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
