To use quickbook you need to install a few more things. There's some
instructions in the quickbook documentation:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/quickbook/install.html#quickbook.install.linux

If you use a prebuilt quickbook (you need to specify the location in
your user-config.jam), you'll only need read access to the boost
repository. If you set $BOOST_ROOT to its location, you should be
okay. This is just to access boost build, the xsl stylesheets and dtd
files.
