without reading your full log file, do you have write permissions on /usr/local (maybe /usr/local mounted ro)? I guess, you have sudo on Fedora, try on install time sudo ./bjam install .....

Hi Olaf - thanks for replying. I do not have permission for /usr/local, but why I should need it is one of the things that puzzles me. Since I specified ~/thirdparty/... as the prefix to bootstrap I figured I should be able to run this as me, not as root? Cheers, Rob.
