        Hello,

        I have to build boost-library on a sparc64 server (32 bits userland). 
This, I have downloaded boost_1_34_1.tar.bz2 and followed build 
instructions I have found. I only obtain an error that I don't understand :

---------------------------------------------------------------
Attempted search from /opt/src/boost_1_34_1 up to the root
and in these directories from BOOST_BUILD_PATH and BOOST_ROOT: 
/usr/share/boost-build.
Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'.
Not all Boost libraries built properly.

        I don't understand why bjam does not find boost-build.jam. This file is 
in boost top directory. I have tried to set BOOST_BUILD_PATH and 
BOOST_ROOT without any other success. What is my mistake ?
