Hi,

It seems that the issue mentioned here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22120366/building-boost-python-example
(for 1.54) is still present in the 1.58:
alainm_at_dhcp1-24:~/install/boost_1_58_0/libs/python/example/tutorial$ 
../../../../b2
Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find build system.
---------------------------------------------------------
/home/alainm/install/boost_1_58_0/libs/python/example/boost-build.jam 
attempted to load the build system by invoking

    'boost-build ../../../tools/build/v2 ;'

but we were unable to find "bootstrap.jam" in the specified directory
or in BOOST_BUILD_PATH (searching 
/home/alainm/install/boost_1_58_0/libs/python/example/../../../tools/build/v2, 
/usr/share/boost-build).

Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.
alainm_at_dhcp1-24:~/install/boost_1_58_0/libs/python/example/tutorial$

Is this to be expected ?
On a related note, is there a document or pointer to a discussion 
explaining why is boost still stuck with bjam ? I suspect that a 
recurring question.

Thanks

Alain
