        This isn't a Boost.Python issue, but a boost-build issue.  The version 
in Ubuntu 8.04 doesn't have the necessary command.  Can you try "bjam 
--version"?  The first line should be "Boost.Build V2 (Milestone 12). 
If not, and you can't get your admin to update the Ubuntu package 
boost-build to the intrepid version (2.0-m12), I'd suggest trying to 
install it in your own home directory.

        Sorry I can't be more help, but I can't find where the path.glob-tree 
rule is called in any file anywhere under libs/python/example.  Perhaps 
this is a bug in Ubuntu packaged version of 2.0-m11.

        You might have more luck on the boost-build list.
