I just downloaded boost and the jam.exe on the build page. Executing jam -ftools/build/allyoubase.jam -sTOOLS="msvc" on win2k with msvc 6 I get a screenful of 'warning: unknown rule split'. Anyone experienced this? jam version problem?

did you try to updrage jam from the boost package: -make subst for any directory containing space -setting the MSVC6 variables (I guess that what happend) with vcvars32.bat (take care of spaces!) cd $(BOOST_ROOT)/tools/build/jam_src and build the new jam!
good luck!
I have this problem also, on Linux (Mandrake 8.0) with gcc 2.96 and STLport4.5. Running 'jam -ftools/build/allyoubase.jam -sTOOLS="gcc-stlport"' results in thousands of 'warning: unknown rule split' and a seg fault... This is using the jam built from the boost_1_25_1/tools/build/jam_src directory, and there are no directories whose names contain spaces in the hierarchy.
