Hi there,

following the short discussion at BoostCon's "Boost Infrastructure" session
today I have tried to start a "Boost Automated Regression and Reporting" run
according to the description at
http://www.boost.org/development/running_regression_tests.html .

The host is a Kubuntu 11.10 64 bit with gcc 4.5.2 and python 2.7.1+ . The
command used to start the compilation run was 

python ./run.py --runner=KIT --toolsets=gcc-4.5.2

The run fails with the following message:

[...]
# Running Boost.Build tests
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./run.py", line 60, in <module>
    runner(root)
  File "/tmp/BoostTest/tools_regression_src/regression.py", line 205, in __init__
    self.main()
  File "/tmp/BoostTest/tools_regression_src/regression.py", line 566, in main
    getattr(self,action_m)()

  File "/tmp/BoostTest/tools_regression_src/regression.py", line 369, in
command_test_boost_build
    "boost/bin.v2/libs/any/test/any_test.test"));
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/tmp/BoostTest/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/any/test/any_test.test'

I have verified that Boost 1.46.1 compiles nicely when starting the compilation
manually. 

Any ideas ?

I'd like to run tests on a couple of different Linux platforms.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ruediger
