Hi,

I'd like to use quickbook to document my project, but failed to install it on my system (Ubuntu Hardy Heron). When I run bjam --v2 in BOOST_ROOT/tools/quickbook, I get:

generate.jam: No such file or directory ../../Jamroot:383: in modules.load *** argument error * rule path.glob ( dirs * : patterns + ) * called with: ( boost/tr1/tr1 : * : bcc32 sun CVS .svn ) * extra argument bcc32 /usr/share/boost-build/util/path.jam:223:see definition of rule 'glob' being called /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:312: in load-jamfile /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:68: in load /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:120: in load-parent /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:447: in initialize /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:301: in load-jamfile /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:68: in load /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:120: in load-parent /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:447: in initialize /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:301: in load-jamfile /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:68: in load /usr/share/boost-build/build/project.jam:170: in project.find /usr/share/boost-build/build-system.jam:148: in load /usr/share/boost-build/kernel/modules.jam:261: in import /usr/share/boost-build/kernel/bootstrap.jam:132: in boost-build /home/christof/work/boost/boost_1_37_0/boost-build.jam:16: in module scope

Can anyone help?

Yes, please use bjam from Boost, not whatever version Ubuntu has. That version has a bug that causes your build to use system-wide Boost.Build install, whereas C++ Boost explicitly tries to use bundled version. System-wide Boost.Build is too old. - Volodya
