That page seems a little outdated. I managed to build the status page for a 
single library (for example string algos) like this:

1) cd tools/regression/build

2) bjam process_jam_log compiler_status library_status

You need to explicitly specify compiler_status and library_status, by 
default only process_jam_log gets built. (I think you don't really need 
compiler_status.)

3) Copy all three executables to a location in the path

For me, all three binaries ended up in ./bin/hp_cxx-71_006_tru64/release/

4) cd ../../../libs/algorithm/string/test

5) ../../../../tools/regression/src/library_test.sh variant=release 
threading=single

This should give you the results for the string algos library.

Looking at library_test_all.sh in the same directory, I think you need to 
replace the two lines "../../../tools/regression/library_test $@" with 
"../../../tools/regression/src/library_test.sh $@", to make it work again. 
It seems that the script library_test.sh has been moved and renamed in the 
past.
