Hi,

I am trying to use bjam, through building a 'hello' project.
However, I receive the following:

$ bjam
Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find build system.
---------------------------------------------------------
C:\cygwin\home\Veghj\projects\hello\boost-build.jam attempted to load
the build
system by invoking

   'boost-build /cygdrive/c/veghj/projects/boost_1_33_1/tools/build/v2
   ;'

but we were unable to find "bootstrap.jam" in the specified directory
or in BOOST_BUILD_PATH (searching
/cygdrive/c/veghj/projects/boost_1_33_1/tools/
build/v2).

Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.

At the same time, the requested file is apparently there:

$ ls /cygdrive/c/veghj/projects/boost_1_33_1/tools/build/v2
boost-build.jam   example                  release_procedure.txt
boost.css         generators_prototype.py  roll.sh
bootstrap.jam     hacking.txt              site-config.jam
build             index.html               test
build-system.jam  kernel                   tools
changes.txt       nightly.sh               user-config.jam
debian            notes                    util
doc               options

What do I wrong?

Thanks for any help
