Hello!! All,

I ned help for BUILDING and INSTALLING the Boost Libraries through VC++
Express Edition .
 I tweaked it for couple of hrs unscussefully.

Here is a  run down of the steps I have taken

Downloaded following three packs
boost_1_33_1
boost-build-2.0-m10
boost-jam-3.1.12

Changed vcvars32.bat for PATH,INCLUDE and LIB settings for Platform SDK

OS Environemental variables
BOOST
BOOST_BUILD_PATH
VC80_ROOTS
VC80CMNTOOLS

Use of   'bjam install'  or 'bjam "-sTOOLS=vc8" install '   generates
following ERRORS/MESSAGE

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:/dnld/BOOST/boost_1_33_1/tools/build/v2\build-system.jam:48: in load
rule os.environ unknown in module build-system.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\dnld\BOOST\boost-build-2.0-m10\boost-build\kernel\modules.jam:259: in
import
C:\dnld\BOOST\boost-build-2.0-m10\boost-build\kernel\bootstrap.jam:120: in
boost-build
C:\dnld\BOOST\boost-build-2.0-m10\boost-build\boost-build.jam:1: in module
scope

can someone of you take a while to show pointers to correct me.
Thanks for all your time.
