The application is based on xul, so running from the command line give no
error messages, also tried the console, but again no error messages.

But yesterday I found the problem, our xul uses a wrapper to give the
parameters to xulrunner and if I placed the dylibs in the folder of the
wrapper then the application will start.

Is there a way to build the boost libraries and specific their location, as
it would be better if the boost libraries where in the same folder as the
xulrunner dylibs.

I am using bjam to build boost.
