Many thanks David for your advice!
I have tried to follow your advice but I have encountered a little problem,
and I can't find the solution on documentation.

When I tried to install bgl-python-0.9 (boost.graph bindigs)
I retrieved this error:

[root_at_ciropom bgl-python-0.9]bjam
--build-dir=/home/ciropom/Scaricati/bgl-python-0.9/ --toolset=gcc
--build-type=complete stage
Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find "boost-build.jam"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Attempted search from /home/ciropom/Scaricati/bgl-python-0.9 up to the root
and in these directories from BOOST_BUILD_PATH and BOOST_ROOT:
/usr/share/boost-build.

So how can I load correctly Boost.Build?

The documentation speak only about a "IO streams library error", and in this
case it isn't the problem.

The documentation recommend to ask in mailing list..
I hope that you can help me...

Many thanks for the time you spent for me!
