Thank you for your help!  Both did the trick!

By the way, not a big problem, but the libraries are being placed in 
/lib, despite me using --prefix in both the bootstrap.sh command and 
bjam (I tried both because doing it for either one wasn't working :-) ). 
  In both cases, I did:  --prefix=/usr/local/boost_1_39_0 .  Is this a 
bug that I should report or does this switch do something else?

Thank you!
