I use CMake and found I had to reconfigure and after tis the correct
libraries were linked in with no problems. If you run make it may look
for the older libraries first.

I built Boost 1.40 on Linux and installed it Ok.
However are the libraries singlethreaded or multithreaded?
eg. the library names are like this:
libboost_python.so
libboost_python.so.1.40.0
The older versions had -mt- in their name.
eg.
libboost_python-gcc43-mt.so
etc.
Hi!
You can use --layout parameter to change libraries naming convention.
Use the following command to see possible options:
$ bjam --help | grep -A25 layout
...
Thanks

Indeed, I noticed this same issue as Andrew when I built it, at first I

thought this would be fine, but when I tried to compile, boost was still

using --layout to use the old naming convention, but how might I go about
ensuring that it compiles correctly?
I'm using Boost.Build for project management, here's my configuration:

local BOOST_ROOT = [ os.environ BOOST_ROOT ] ;
using boost : 1.40 : <include>$(BOOST_ROOT) <library>/usr/local/lib ;

the sake of being complete).

  <library>/site-config//libxml2
  <library>/boost//filesystem

 ;
How might I make it compile correctly?
Unrelatedly, how might I improve my current jam files in any way?
Thanks,

Not quite sure I understand what you mean. Because boost is supposed to 
be auto-linking and such (especially with boost.build) I don't see what 
there is I could change. The above configuration files are all I have 
which are relevent, notice especially the site-config.jam file.
