Hello Steven,

You are right, of course; thank you for pointing that out. I was so focused 
on following the documentation that I did not notice the this remark at the 
end of the b2 output.

This means, however, that there is a mistake in the documentation, right? 
In sections 6.1 and 6.2 
(http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#link-
from-within-the-visual-studio-ide and 
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#or-
link-from-the-command-prompt , respectively), the paths should be
C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_55_0\stage\lib 
instead of
C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_55_0\lib
Or am I missing something?

Best wishes,
Lutz
