2 Davids,

The output at the top of the compile after running:
                             bjam "-sTOOLS=gcc" install > out.txt  2>&1
shows python errors followed by:

...found 13313 targets...
...updating 250 targets...

And then throughout the compile there are a lot of link errors and FileClone
operation not permitted errors.

 The the compile completes with a lot of skipped errors ending with:

....failed updating 110 targets...
...skipped 118 targets...
...updated 22 targets...

So...the following list from the Boost site gave the order for compiling
which I completed in order with my appended notes:

   1. Download Boost <http://boost.org/more/getting_started.html#step1>.
   2. Install Boost.Jam<http://boost.org/more/getting_started.html#step2>.
   ( I installed bjam to: /usr/local/bin/bjam)
   3. Configure your compiler
toolset<http://boost.org/more/getting_started.html#step3>.
   (This I did not do...I didn't know what they wanted me to do)
   4. Go to Boost distribution
directory<http://boost.org/more/getting_started.html#step4>
   .
   5. Build and install<http://boost.org/more/getting_started.html#step5>
   .

Could some of this be the result of the fact that I didn't configure my
compiler?

Thanks guys...
Douglas
