I used the same bjam command on Ubuntu 6.0.6 and 5.10 and I used the same version of bjam (3.1.13) which I downloaded as an executable from sourceforge. Is bjam 3.1.13 the latest version ? I retried my build on Ubuntu 5.10 adding the --includedir option, but there was no difference. I was able to partially build boost 1.33.0 using bjam 3.1.13 on Ubuntu 5.10 but only a few packages built. If I recall correctly the errors were compiler issues and not a failure of bjam. I don't have the output from this build but I can redo the build if the output would be useful. I'm just starting with boost, but it kind of looks like there may be a problem with the input files that are used by bjam in boost-1.33.1 on ubuntu 5.10 ? Are there anymore tests that I can run ?

I know that there are probably packages available for this platform but for several reasons I need to build Boost 1.33.1 from scratch.
Sorry I missed this posting...
I have no problems with compiliing from scratch on Ubuntu 6.06.
After unpacking the source files and placing the precompiled bjam executable in the boost source directory, I run the following:
cd ./boost_1_33_1 ./bjam -sTOOLS=gcc –-prefix=/usr/local/boost-1.33.1 install
Is that sequence the same for both U5.10 and U6.06?
What version of bjam (bjam -v) are you using both times?
Have you tried using the latest bjam, instead of using the one that comes with the 1.33.1 archive?
My /usr/local/boost-1.33.1 is owned by me and writeable.
Any suggestions ? Thanks.
The truncated bjam output is : [...] * rule stage ( name : sources + : requirements * : local-build * ) * called with: ( : [...] * missing argument name
Well that mean that somehow it has an empty includedir value. You might want to work around it by specifying the --includedir option directly.
