Dear all,

sorry for bothering you again, but the problem did not disappear. With 
the changes from Juergen it worked yesterday. But today it does not 
anymore (maybe I was too tired yesterday...).

You find my Jamroot[1] and the output of "bjam -d+2"[2] below. The 
strange thing is that the file 
"/C:\boost_1_50_0\bin.v2\libs\filesystem\build\msvc-9.0\debug\threading-multi\boost_filesystem-vc90-mt-gd-1_50.lib/" 
exists. However, the linker reports that it cannot open it.

I am greatful for any help, since I am new to boost.

Thank you,
Ronny
