Can you be more specific about the error messages?  A:

bjam --with-math

will build just the math lib, if you could post the complete output that 
would be most helpful.

There's something strange going on here though as it builds just fine 
locally here (ubuntu Linux), and on our regression test machines (various 
Linux flavours).

Thanks, John.
