It's the way I use a non-default compiler:

# Compiler configuration using gcc : 3.4.4 : /opt/gcc344/bin/g++344 : <compileflags>-fPIC <linkflags>-fPIC ;

You may not need the flags, but the version number and path to g++ are probably necessary.

Right, that's what you have to put to user-config.jam (either tools/build/v2/user-config.jam or ~/user-config.jam). Don't bother with configure, it falls short whenever you try to do anything non-standard.

Great -- this approach worked for me. Thanks for the help! Dan
