Hi David,

Look at the console output of build process, there is normally an error  
diagnostic in plain text, which should give you a clue how to proceed  
further.

// Unless you need the whole set of boost libraries, you may list the  
libraries you need using --with-libraries option of bjam, see  
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html#easy-build-and-install  
for reference.
