[Boost-users] rule install unknown

Hello All,

after some years of using jam, I tried to switch to bjam today.
I'm using deb packages from the debian linux testing distro:

  bjam-3.1.11-1
  boost-build-2.0-m10-1

(Building bjam myself from sources gave exactly the same result)

Compiling a very simple qt4 application file is no problem.

But installing it in a dist directory will not happen?

bjam reports:

src/Jamfile:7: in modules.load
rule install unknown in module Jamfile</home/bert/projects/qscope/src>.
/usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:255: in load-jamfile
/usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:67: in load
/usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:71: in project.load
/usr/share/boost-build/build-system.jam:75: in load
/usr/share/boost-build/kernel/modules.jam:259: in import
/usr/share/boost-build/kernel/bootstrap.jam:120: in boost-build
/usr/share/boost-build/boost-build.jam:1: in module scope

---- qscope/src/Jamfile ---------------------------------------
exe qscope 
        : main.cpp 
        : <library>/usr/lib/libQtCore.so
          <library>/usr/lib/libQtGui.so
        ;

install dist : qscope ;
------------------------------------------------------------------

Searching the net/user mailing list and reading bjam -d9 output didn't help me.

Can you give me a hint how to proceed?
Thanks in advance.

Kind regards
