Hi,

Although I'm the author of iostreams, I don't know much about bjam, so I'm not
sure what's going on. When I run bjam from the iostreams build directory, it
works fine. You might try defining the variable NO_COMPRESSION -- which I guess
should be IOSTREAMS_NO_COMPRESSION -- to tell bjam not to look for zlib and
gzip. The compression filters are the only part of the iostreams library which
are non-trivial to build, and they have caused some problems in the past, which
I didn't understand, but which went away by themselves.
