Hi Jurko dobydien!

Sorry for the late reply. Attached you will find a minimal project. It
does not compile, but that is not the point... This is the directory
structure:

bjam-problem
└── cgi
    ├── appl
    └── base

If I run bjam in bjam-problem (with Jamroot) or bjam-problem/cgi/appl
it compiles as expected. In all other dirs I get a bjam-error for the
install-command as below...

It worked fine for a view years, but siince about half a year ago I
get this problem.

Thanks!
Andrej
