[Boost-users] [mpi] building boost::mpi libs

I have successfully built the boost MPI libraries on my mac.  When  
trying on Linux I am having problems with the compiler not including  
the path for mpi.h.  For example, I get errors like:

> gcc.compile.c++ bin.v2/libs/mpi/build/gcc-3.4.6/release/threading- 
> multi/python/datatypes.o
> In file included from ./boost/mpi/python/config.hpp:15,
>                  from ./boost/mpi/python/serialize.hpp:23,
>                  from libs/mpi/src/python/datatypes.cpp:13:
> ./boost/mpi/config.hpp:20:17: mpi.h: No such file or directory

I am not familiar with bjam.  My MPI installation is in a non-standard  
location and I added
>  using mpi : /uufs/chpc.utah.edu/sys/pkg/mpich2/std/bin/mpicxx ;

to my user-config.jam file.

How do I tell bjam to look somewhere special for the mpi headers?

Thanks for any tips.
