[Boost-users] Problems installing uBLAS using HP-UX/G++

I would like to install parts of Boost, for now the uBLAS and smart 
pointer libraries, on a workstation running HP-UX 11.22.  I'm using gcc 
3.4.3, not HP's C++ compiler.

bjam seems to build okay, but when I try to use bjam to install just the 
uBLAS library using the command

~/bin/bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" --prefix=/home/dgarza/ 
--builddir=/tmp/build-scratch/ --with-ublas

it tries to build Boost.Python, Boost.Regex, and possibly other 
libraries, then gives the message

...found 3330 targets...

then quits saying nothing else.  I know it's trying to build Python and 
Regex because it prints messages about building those libraries, I don't 
know what else it's trying to build.  When I add "stage" to the end of 
the command, bjam tries to build Python and Regex, then says

don't know how to make stage
...found 1 target...
...can't find 1 target...

When I try "install" instead of "stage," bjam seems to try installing 
everything.  It ends with the message

...updated 3571 targets...

The bjam documentation and help say the --with- option should make bjam 
just build/stage/install the specified library, but that isn't what is 
happening.  Is there a list of dependencies for the different parts of 
Boost?  Does uBLAS actually require Python and Regex?

Related to this, would it be possible to provide a list of the names 
acceptable in the --with- and --without- options?  Since uBLAS is under 
numeric I wasn't sure if the appropriate library name was numeric, 
ublas, uBLAS, numeric/ublas, etc.  I tried to see if I could find a list 
of names somewhere but I nothing jumped out in the files I looked at. 
Does it just go by directory names?

Thanks,
David
