sorry for this very basic question. Bjam complains about not finding the boost libraries. This line #include in the header of my code triggers:

...

error: boost/math/tools/minima.hpp: No such file or directory

I have added: :<include>/usr/local/include/boost-1_39 as suggest on page 6 of: http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/userman.pdf into the 'body' of exe 'options' in the Jamroot file inside my project. I had previously tried to add it just at the end that file. My problem was that I was provided with a working Jamroot file (by somebody who has since left my organisation) and thus I was able to work happily without knowing anything about the syntax in it. I was foraging through the boost documentation how to get started with it and only found that little bone: " you need a directory containing the boost/ subdirectory in your #includepath. " in: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_39_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html but no documentation of how to actually add a include path (because that is probably obvious to anybody familiar with bjam). And, I am wondering whether I should rather add that line to my /usr/share/boost-build/user-config.jam file but the syntax probably is slightly different there. Markus
