Hi, I have successfully installed boost-build and bjam on a Linux workstation where I only had access to my home folder, but I have trouble replicating this on another. I put the boot-build folder at the top level of my home folder and created also a bin folder there into which I copied the content of boost-build folder and the bjam binary. I then added an environmental variable BOOSTROOT with the value '../' and set my jamroot file to <include>$BOOSTROOT. I can now start bjam from folders one level below the home folder. On a different Linux system this fails with the error: Unable to load Boost.Build: could not find "boost-build.jam" --------------------------------------------------------------- Attempted search from /afs/.../trunk-1 up to the root and in these directories from BOOST_BUILD_PATH and BOOST_ROOT: /usr/share/boost-build. Please consult the documentation at 'http://www.boost.org'. The boost-build.jam file sits in the same folder as bjam (~/bin) but on one system bjam finds it and on another it does not. The folder /usr/share/boost-build does not exist and I do not have the permission to create it. I've used boost-jam 3.1.13 on both systems (since it worked fine on one system, I was loth to change anything). This was the current version when I started the whole business. In short: Is there any way to tell bjam to use the local boost-build.jam file? Thanks. Markus
