I don't know anything about quickbook, so help is needed to debug this failure.
This appears to be a problem with boost build. It should build quickbook automatically if you haven't specified the location of a prebuilt executable. But something is going wrong. I don't think the quickbook build tool has been changed, so the problem might be somewhere else in boost build.
As a workaround, you can first build quickbook separately. You can do this by going to '$BOOST_ROOT/tools/quickbook', running 'bjam dist-bin', and adding to your user-config.jam:
using quickbook : $BOOST_ROOT/dist/bin/quickbook ;
I can look into Steven's patch, but only tomorrow. The above workaround can be used if having this working during the reminder of today is desirable. (Reminder of today is 1 hour here, but is up to 13 hours in US). - Volodya
