It didn't seem to have a problem finding my compiler (although I will try the edit you suggest and use the copy of GCC I have under \Dev-Cpp instead of the one I have under \MinGW). The compiler seems to work OK, its just that the build products I get appear to be for a linux platform (.a files) instead of windows (.lib and .dll files). What files did you end up with in your C:\install-boost\lib directory?

Thanks,
Ken

  heres what i do to build mingW since i am using dev-cpp compiler.

  step 1: edit user-config.jam (this will tell where the compiler is).

  gcc : : "C:/Dev-Cpp/bin/gcc"

  step 2: erase the "install" ... its more like bjam "--toolset=gcc" "--build-dir=C:\install-boost"

  and thats it....
