Hello,
I am trying to get started with boost.python. When following the tutorial http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/hello.html I get the same problems that have been described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/boost/+bug/164551, namely:
$ bjam --toolset=gcc test
Jamroot:18: in modules.load
rule python-extension unknown in module Jamfile</usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/examples/libs/python/example>.
/usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:312: in load-jamfile
/usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:68: in load
/usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:170: in project.find
/usr/share/boost-build/build-system.jam:248: in load
/usr/share/boost-build/kernel/modules.jam:261: in import
/usr/share/boost-build/kernel/bootstrap.jam:132: in boost-build
/usr/share/doc/libboost-doc/examples/libs/python/example/boost-build.jam:7: in module scope
$

This may be an Ubuntu problem, but there was no reaction on the bug report since one year. Can you suggest a solution or explain how to find the cause of the problems?
(I am running Ubuntu 8.10 and have installed the packages (among others)
libboost-python-dev
libboost-python1.34.1
boost-build
libboost-doc 
bjam)

Thank you
Patrick
