Hello, I am trying to build MPI on WinXP, Visual C++ 2008 Express edition,
trying to follow instructions at
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/mpi/getting_started.html#mpi.config,
but the problem is shown below:

You will need to manually configure MPI support.

(1) I can see that bjam cannot find mpic++ and also, bjam displayed "The
system cannot find the path specified.", do you know what paths are bjam
referring to? Also, if I have mpic++, where should I put this so that bjam
can detect it?

(2) I already got myself a Windows IA32 (binary) of MPICH2 and installed.
Because it's binary, there is no need to build. In the bin folder, I can see
mpiexec.exe, but no mpic++. I am quite lost. I think I am on the wrong
track. Normally, where can we acquire mpic++? Shouldn't it be distributed
along with this MPI implementation as well?
