OK - I didn't expect anything to require a C++ compiler just to build documentation I added using msvc : 7.1 and ran bjam --v2 - as per instructions on http://www.boost.org/doc/html/boostbook/setup/running.html
and things did crank way for quite a while and produced a lot of output on the console. It ended with an encouraging messsage (which I have since scrolled off the top of the screen). I run bjam --v2 again and it "finishes" pretty quickly with output which looks like:

That's the key message, it means one or both of the paths in the using boostbook path1, path2 ; declaration is wrong, double check your paths and hopefully you'll spot the error. John.
