Hi there,

  I am trying to compile boost 1.40 to start playing with the PBGL.
  I tried using bjam and followed the basic instructions but it fails
to inspect my system and leads to:

$ ./bjam install
Note: Building Boost.Regex with Unicode/ICU support enabled
    Using ICU in  /usr/include
warning: Graph library does not contain optional GraphML reader.
note: to enable GraphML support, set EXPAT_INCLUDE and EXPAT_LIBPATH to the
note: directories containing the Expat headers and libraries, respectively.
warning: Graph library does not contain MPI-based parallel components.
note: to enable them, add "using mpi ;" to your user_config.jam
warning: skipping optional Message Passing Interface (MPI) library.
note: to enable MPI support, add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam.
note: to suppress this message, pass "--without-mpi" to bjam.
note: otherwise, you can safely ignore this message.

I would think I need mpi to get PBGL working, so I decided to switch to cmake.
But again it is failing:

$ mkdir bin && cmake .. && make modularize && make && make install

leads to:
/usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_progress_report

Finally I tried using boost trunk (r55688), but it leads to:
