Maybe if you show what kind of errors do you get could help. Could you give the values of BOOST_BUILD_PATH and BOOST_ROOT ?
Thanks. Everything is below. I think I am getting closer: maybe it's the way I refer to the test monitor: ../../test/build//boost_test_exec_monitor I gues I should put a bjam variable there... J-L
