Hi,

I would like to build boost.mpi from boost/1.43.0 with gcc/4.4.4,
openmpi/1.4.2 
on GNU/Linux 2.6.18-128.1.14.el5.8hp.2sp SMP x86_64

bjam always skips the MPI section (see below). 

Adding a line in user-config.jam 

"using mpi : /software/all/openmpi/1.4.2/bin/mpiCC ;" or 

"using mpi : /software/all/openmpi/1.4.2/bin/mpic++ ;" 

does not change the result:

username_at_host:~/boost/boost_1_43_0$ bjam -v
Boost.Jam  Version 3.1.18. OS=LINUX.

username_at_host:~/boost/boost_1_43_0$ bjam --with-mpi

note: to enable MPI support, add "using mpi ;" to user-config.jam.

The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!

The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:

    ......................../username/boost/boost_1_43_0

The following directory should be added to linker library paths:

username_at_host:~/boost/boost_1_43_0$ which mpic++
